Dead Drive

Dead Intel 320 Series SSD
Dead Intel 320 Series SSD

This SSD wouldn’t keep recognizing its own existence for long enough to even run the SMART tools against it. I ordered a Samsung 840 Pro yesterday, it arrived this morning.

I’ve installed (k)Ubuntu on it, updating now. In a bit I’ll strip the chips off that board, and crush them – that’s the only way to securely destroy data on an SSD.

Today: More house cleaning. Ciao!
