It worked! Jumpered the 2 specified pins on the mobo with a 100 ohm resistor per the Googles and it's up and running again. New NAS ETA is tomorrow.
Well, of *COURSE* you do.I have a powder-actuated nail gun that I use to dispatch retired hard drives with finality...

Nope. But I just had a laptop, after update and shut down was selected, come back up with BitLocker screen in pre-boot. Windows10 Dell. I think TPM got nailed by BIOS update, but apparently ASUS laptops had similar issue couple years ago.anyone come across this task bar freezing when the short cuts pop up happens
I think its an ms edge short cuts tutorial, if it shows up down on the bar and you exit out, the bottom bar is disabled, ctrl alt del then log out then back in worked but I'm betting an easier wayNope.

This seems like the type of group that might find the below interesting, so thought I'd post it...
White Paper: SSD Endurance and HDD Workloads
Helps to explain why they're not remotely the same thing, even though they're often both specification/ratings of data transfer to/from a storage device over time.
Much easier and cleaner than my drill a few holes through'em method.I have a powder-actuated nail gun that I use to dispatch retired hard drives with finality...

I'm also moving to just NVMe SSD since the price is getting lower for larger ssd'sI can't imagine anyone questioning SSD vs spinning magnetic media endurance. I briefly looked at the link, but lost interest. Seems like a duh.

LOL, that was me too. Then I decided to start making stir plates for brewing friends. All those drives are gone now, and the internal magnets repurposed.Every hard drive I've ever owned is sitting in a box in my attic as if someone was going to try to recover critical data from it some day. Or maybe come up with a project that needs a lot of magnets.

This paper was written partially as a response to tech bloggers who were acting all astonished at HDD workload ratings and comparing them to SSD endurance specs as if they were the same thing. They're not directly comparable, but it's a VERY common thing in the world of tech bloggers / reviewers to mix it up.I can't imagine anyone questioning SSD vs spinning magnetic media endurance. I briefly looked at the link, but lost interest. Seems like a duh.
The paper isn't really comparing the two in that regard, if you may not have gotten that far.
For me the interesting point was the recommendation to replace SSD when the endurance spec is met regardless if there is any indication of problems.
So if I send you a dozen or so magnets will you send me back a couple of stir plates?LOL, that was me too. Then I decided to start making stir plates for brewing friends. All those drives are gone now, and the internal magnets repurposed.
FYI you should sanitize the drive before either method.
LOL. You should see what it looks like with the industrial shredders that the big cloud companies use for HDDs. The goal is to get <2 mm pieces because apparently the state of the art data recovery techniques fail below that level, but can succeed with pieces of the platter larger than that.Lol! I'm not worried a bit Besides the fact that nobody is going to be motivated to spend $$$ and lots of time recovering my data, two framing nails angled towards the spindle really makes a mess out of glass platters leaving precious little to scarf.
Next time I dispatch a drive I'll take a picture of the mayhem. It's awesome...
Cheers!
Essentially following "NSA/CSS policy manual 9-12" (above see various pages for various devices)? I was introduced to the idea of "Incineration—incinerate at temperature greater than 670ºC" a number of decades ago.The goal is to get <2 mm pieces because apparently the state of the art data recovery techniques fail below that level, but can succeed with pieces of the platter larger than that.
FYI you should sanitize the drive before either method. A nail gun or drilling holes will protect your data from basic attacks (i.e. nobody can just plug the drive into a PC and get into it), but sufficiently sophisticated attackers could still get at it. The data is still on the platters. And as long as it's on the platters, you CAN get it.
Now, honestly I'm not sure how many people are attempting it. People looking for personal data for the purpose of identity theft (who would likely be the only people trying to snag individual consumers' old drives) are just attacking via hacking the companies who have your data directly instead.
Omg you guys. Wrap the drive in a diaper and toss in the trash.
I just cannot agree strongly enough.any data you actually care about should NEVER be entrusted to only one single storage device

I'd have to take a look at a breakdown as I think a lot of 2.5" drives use glass platters as they're stiffer which is important in laptops (not that laptops currently use HDDs, but they did back in the day), but most 3.5" drives (which would be in use if it's in a NAS or other similar external backup solution) use metal (AlMg) platters. Glass is more expensive so it's generally something that's avoided unless the application requires it.
But yeah, nobody with nation-state level technology is going to be going through old damaged consumer HDD platters looking for data. Too much effort for not enough payoff.
For most of us at home, an OS "factory reset" of the OS (deletes all apps & data), in combination with a "wipe" of the free space (see #1 here), is likely the "sweet spot" for passing a computer along to someone else.
For the rest of "us", there's "NIST Special Publication 800-88, Revision 1 (pdf)" and "NSA/CSS POLICY MANUAL 9-12 STORAGE DEVICE SANITIZATION AND DESTRUCTION MANUAL (pdf)".

It's all about the level of work to recover vs. potential reward gained by doing it.
I do a full format on the drives, which I realize isn't the same as as NSA multipass, but between that and the multiple holes drilled through I sleep well when a drive goes in the trash.
