What the fuck happened?

>>56183134
My nephew dropped it

>>56183108
>letting kids be anywhere near technology related stuff

you brought it on yourself

>>56183196
it was plugged on my TV, he just got it and dropped. It was my fault anyway.

how can a little drop do this anyway

>>56183270
Do you not know how hard disks work?

>>56183286
they spin

>>56183334
It should still work

>>56183356
It works if you put like 200gb on it, more than that it crashes the explorer. Also, do you know any way to isolate the first few sectors from the bad ones? Partitioning it would do the job?

It should

>>56183481
those chink 2tb HDDs for 50 bucks

>>56183481

That's right - it's a small PCB with a 128 MB flash chip, and two metal bolts to give the otherwise hollow drive some weight. The controller was made to report a 500 GB capacity and copy files in a loop when it reached past 128 MB.

>>56183414
Yes, but I'd recommend getting a new HDD. Hopefully you didn't store anything important on this one.
>>56183554
Those things are funny though, I always laugh when I see chinks selling "500 GB" flash drives for $5 on eBay. That should be banned imo.

>>56183581
>free space 1%

You brought it upon yourself.

NTFS already fragments like mad when you have like 40% free. At 1% free you might as well delete everything and start again.

I'd run it again before partitioning - if the drop has knocked some shit onto the platter, the heads might not have reached it until halfway through. If that shit's still under the head, the entire thing is now trashed.

>>56183495
Hey, at least you still have a 310gb drive

>>56183677
I will do it.

>>56183434
stuff like this always amazes me

>>56183662
Why does NTFS suck so much?

>>56183677
Looks like it's the same shit again, I'll part it to 310GB

It's amazing that there isn't a script on eBay or Amazon that redflag obvious cheap chink shit as they try to put that shit up.

nigga WHAT ARE YOU DOING??
YOU ARE FUCKING IT UP EVEN MORE
STOP THAT AND JUST DO BACKUP OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN STILL READ
trust me, been there, hadn't done that, lost even things I could save

>>56183434
How much would they profit on average from this?
How can I do the fake capacity usb trick?

>>56184297
NTFS supports up to like longer filenames. It's Explorer that limits for backwards compatibility.

>>56184582
Problem is that the whole path counts to that limitation

>>56183933
Had this happen, how the fuck does it even?

HP suffers from the same bloatshit

>>56184227
That is $5 tops, being sold at $50-60 there is a $45-55 profit.

>>56184680
>>56184970
Do you lose any functionality if you remove all that shit?

>>56185160
Not unless its a driver.

if you are going to get winblows comps, get it from the microsoft store so its a signature edition device. No OEM bloat.

>>56185160
No, actually you gain some.

>>56185160
I think only the power management thing is really usefull

>>56184020
>>56184036
how the fuck do you manage to do this shit

Thank God for 7zip, better using that as a one off instead of installing an explorer replacement

>>56183151
i dropped mine 2 of mine.
both died.
it's ok.
only pron in there.
but my 2TB shitgate just died on its own.
all of my bdmv
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

>>56184593
my fan was running slow.
then i remembered this.
dropped some mineral oil.
it's fast again.
don't use wd40. those might combust.

>>56187092
Try dielectric silicone grease next time. It's better for small electrical applications than whatever food/toolshed shit you might find.
