Awards and honors
  • CHA Player of the Week (Week of December 12, 2011)[9]
gollark: Probably. I think HDDs mostly suffer mechanical failure before their platters become unwritable. Can that even happen normally?
gollark: I don't know if they document write endurance like that. They're not the same tech as flash, obviously.
gollark: That is with somewhat outdated SSDs, mind you.
gollark: Also this: <https://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead/>
