The Big Trail (1930)

I'm watching this movie right now. I just noticed something.

The early video game, Oregon Trail is based almost exactly on this movie.

Well, one of my two Western Digital hard drives hasn't actually died, but it has started to make grinding noises whenever accessed.

Fortunately, it's registered with Western Digital and still under warranty. So I started the RMA process. I asked if they could email me a UPS label and they said yes.
BUT, my Verizon email which is now handled by AOL on their servers, is down. I tried to have them send me the UPS label on a different email, but they wouldn't do that. I've had the exact same email for like 15 years with them.

So now I am wiping a 2TB HDD... only 3.5 hours to go. It's at 2%. LOL

/e Well I called them back, and acted like a little whiny bitch, and they said OK, they would send the shipping label to my other email address.

UPDATE: Just received replacement new WD 2TB Black, waiting for the drive to warm up a bit (room temp) so I can install in comp.

I've never warmed a drive up or heard about doing such things.

Probably cause it really doesn't matter if you're from... Texas.

When a hard drive has spent all day in a truck and you bring it into a warm house, you should let it come to room temperature slowly. This will prevent condensation from forming inside the hard drive. Even microscopic particles of moisture can cause the heads to crash.

If in extremely cold weather, like -20 or -30F below zero, the lubricant can thicken or freeze, which will cause the hard drive to operate more slowly than it should. This can ofc corrupt the data you are moving to the drive.
