#ExFAT

Meine neue Festplatte ist ein Schlüsselanhänger, aber sagt man Festplatte überhaupt noch?

Ich bin gerade dabei, wenigstens einen Teil meiner Daten vom verstorbenen Macbook aus dem Backblaze-Backup herunterzuladen. Die Downloadgeschwindigkeit meines Backups im britischen Haushalt ist so 15 GB/Stunde, ich hatte es mir schneller vorgestellt.

Aber ich habe jetzt ein wunderschönes winziges SSD-Speicherdings mit einer Öse, damit man es als Schlüsselanhänger verwenden kann, 1 Terabyte.

Keine Kaufempfehlung. Christian Pietsch weist bei Mastodon darauf hin, dass genau diese Baureihe oft kaputtgeht: hier und hier.

Ich plane es als Haupt-Speicherdings bei egal welchem neuen Laptop (die Entscheidung ist noch nicht gefallen) zu verwenden. Das mit dem ins Gerät eingebauten Speicher, bei dem gleich alle Daten weg sind, nur weil das Betriebssystem kaputtgeht, kommt mir allmählich gar nicht mehr wie so eine gute Idee vor.

Genau diese Idee hatte ich, wie mir jetzt wieder einfällt, schon mal vor vielen Jahren. Deshalb hatte ich immer zwei Festplatten, als ich noch so ein großes Gehäuse unter dem Schreibtisch stehen hatte (prä-2008). Auf einer war nur das Betriebssystem und auf der anderen waren die Daten. Ich muss damit aufgehört haben, als ich nur noch einen Laptop hatte und kein Platz mehr im Gehäuse war für solchen Luxus.

Einen großen Teil meiner Daten brauche ich zum Glück nicht bei Backblaze herunterzuladen, weil alle Fotos auf dem Festplattenerweiterungs-USB-Stick waren. Blöd nur, dass ich damals nicht dran gedacht habe, diesen Stick so zu formatieren, dass man ihn mit irgendwas anderem als einem Mac lesen kann (genau wie auch meine fünf anderen USB-Sticks).

"Don't let this happen to you! use exFAT!", ermahne ich die Techniktagebuch-Redaktion. Wenige Minuten später lerne ich allerdings: "Friends don’t let friends use ExFAT", und zwar weil: "no journaling, no built-in encryption, you may lose data in case of a crash". Eventuell ist mein Plan "ich habe jetzt diese externe Festplatte, und ob ich in Zukunft ein Chromebook oder ein Macbook benutzen werde, ist egal" gar nicht so gut, wie ich dachte.

(Mit dem Wissen vom Aufschreibezeitpunkt Anfang 2024 ausgestattet kann ich sagen: Eine Festplatte, die ich extra herauskramen und anschließen muss und die dann außen am Laptop herumbaumelt, werde ich nur selten verwenden. Dass ich ihr wegen der ExFAT-Nachteile nicht so richtig vertraue, trägt dazu bei, dass sie wenig benutzt bleibt.)

Abschließend vermerke ich im Chat, dass ich vermutlich aufhören muss, "Festplatte" zu sagen.

I tried the normal method, the Disk Manager, the CMD and PowerShell, the drive is too big for all of them. And I do not know if I can trust any of the programs to force this drive to be FAT32.

I'm considering going to the store and asking, they fix computers, maybe they'd do this for me

also share your names with me I'm curious :3

down below is a heartfelt sob story about my favorite hard drive and also reason why I did the poll

For the longest time I only had one external drive containing everything. It was an old 256GB drive that I just named "BACKUP".

When I got my SSD I took out the old hard drive and used that as my main backup source. Because it had more storage I named it "BACKUP EXTENDED".

That drive got corrupted when I was in rehab because some guy named Kevin borrowed it for movies and used in a micro usb phone cable instead of the real one that was right on top of the drive.

So BACKUP EXTENDED was no more. A few months later I tried some usb partitioning tools (GParted my beloved) because I had some computer issues and thought I try to revive that old drive again and it fucking worked. From that day on my backup drive was known as "THE UNDEAD" (I've also been a huge Hollywood Undead fan at that time).

That name stuck with me, even after I accidentally formatted the whole drive when installing Arch, It persisted through each repartitioning session.

When I fucked up my partitioning table so hard it took several tries of fiddling to get the drive to work again, I renamed my trusty old drive to UNDEAD REVIVED because, well, I had to revive it again. Is it really undead at this point? Or is a revived thing alive again. What is a revived zombie, really? Maybe that's something for another poll...

A few weeks ago I got a few terabytes of storage for cheap and the biggest drive I got right now is 3TB. It's my new backup drive and I called it "UNDEAD EXTENDED",

But I've reached a point where having only one partition for everything isn't enough anymore. I have a macbook for work which can't write to NTFS partitions, so I had to create an exFAT for shared storage. That doesn't allow me to symlink things though, and I still need to have a Windows backup that I can just attach to any PC and boot from it, so I also need an NTFS drive. But Windows does things to the NTFS drive so that sometimes I have to sudo mount the partition which is really annoying and kinda sucks. I only use Linux on my main machine and just want to keep some of its files somewhere without other systems interacting with it at all so now I also have a ext4 partition for system backup and some games.

So, my trusty UNDEAD* hard drive that I lovingly kept and revived and extended and revived again, which stores everything that I own and love and need is now cut up into pieces and none of the partitions feel like the drive that it once was that makes me sad.

I grew very attached to that hard drive and to that name but even when the physical drive is still next to me it feels like I've outgrown it. I've had my Undead drive when I was at my lowest and it was a part of my digital life up until now. I've had iterations of it for almost half of my life. If that thing could talk, it would scream.

So, how did I name my partitions instead now?

I've named my exFAT partition "CYBERSLUT" the way it plugs into any computer and gets manhandled by it, it made me smile when I made the tough decision to retire the undead naming scheme.

My NTFS drive is called "WHYDOS" because I always ask myself why I still keep up with Windows sometimes, and I just recreated my ext4 partition that I named "PLAYGROUND", because it's only used for Wine bottles and some steam games so far, so they don't take up most of my limited SSD space.
