Waves had a bad reputation with their WUP at the beginning of the century. iLok also had a reputation for ruining hard drives back then. Those don't die quickly. Waves also has the worst licensing model along with Steinberg, How many people are willing to pay $200 for a plugin with WUP?
At the same time both companies often don't have mediocre products either.
I remember when a 500gb drive was the max and I had a Seagate the lasted over a decade. I still have some WD Blue 320gb drives I use for archiving.
I usually use at least 5 SATA ports on each machine. I'm thinking of getting a 4tb HDD and going with 3 1TB SSD drives for libraries.
A 2tb with a 2yr warranty valid until Dec. went bad. It was under $60. I still can't afford a SSD that size. I paid $12 for an exchange. I'm not sure I can get any data off it. It doesn't bother me since my 2 other systems have similar data.
I woke up this morning with a strange sound that doesn't sound like your everyday drive failure. There were no previous signs of it going bad (just like every drive these days)
SMART is useless.
At some point I'd like to cut down on disk size and replace them with 1TB drives.
1st Seagate I've had to RMA.
Quite the truth. If I had to chose between a sub and death, I'd go with PA. They also add plugins to their sub.
BTW I used my generic voucher. Can I use it again and I do the survey ones work?
I may go for if if I can get a $25 code.
i'm saying no since I found out Shake Shimmer Strike was still on sale.
I have so many plugins I haven't even opened up only doe authorization.
I'm not a fan of subs but PA's may be the best one around. Many of us buy a plugin a month from them and that isn't much different.
Nice to see them getting in the the budget market. I'd get this but it would collect space. I would think equivalents would be found in the Arturia collection, Spire, and Serum.
