That was so coool
he actually would look good in a uniform, if it wasn't artwork

Damn. That does look cool.
That was a briliant ad. He is playing it, instead of jamming in stock gameplay footage. Plus the ending of Jay in the naval uniform, next level advertising !
"Unless you accidentally format it."
The pain in his eyes tells me it's happened to him before.
That thought, in turn, makes me feel a lot better about myself. I once lost /everything/ making that stupid mistake. Haunts me to this day.
@Zwenk Wiel yeah, but I did once. It was on a build I was doing for someone too. We had just gotten it setup and I went to initialize the D drive and I formatted the C drive.... embarrassing...
I didn't lose data this way, but have felt the pain of loosing it. Even to this day, I mourne my missing data :(
Long time ago, i did a format d:\ /u and quickly pressed enter, taking one second to realize that i formatted THE BACKUP DRIVE!
I formatted a drive that had like 2 TB of pictures and videos on it and when trying to format a new drive I typed the wrong letter and then the next few days I was just doing data recovery. got most of it back tho
i accidentally formatted my drive today and the pain is real

It pays to be Jay's friend when your computer is failing.
Is that all you got from this!?
that is why we all are friends with Admiral JayzTwoCents o7
I had forgotten the trauma of hearing a physical r/w head failure. God bless m.2.
that clicking sound...
The "pleasant" sound of an IBM IC35 series after just a few months...
god I swear my heart beats fast the moment I hear that clicking sound...
My torrent HDD failing and gotta love SMART. New one on the way to clone it.
More traumatic is when the magnetic substrate goes bad. To heck with head crashes, those are avoidable simply by not dropping the drive, but magnetic substrates can and will go bad the more you write to them (like bending a paper clip over and over til it snaps) and you won't ever see it coming til you start having ATA delayed write failed errors suddenly start popping up, then a few hours later your drive disappears from device manager.

@@Craig-ib7gk I have an xtreemfs san, with an extra one at my mom's house, just in case.
i got a new machine its great but not a lot of hard drive space so i added a couple of old HDDS i had and one of them is really noisy so its basically terminal....so i just use the drive for some installed games and daily i have to backup the saves so all ill lose is the game not the saves hopefully gonna replace it soon
EDIT: well not all the save that would suck most of them are in my documents so not a big deal

Jay: "the 240Gig is kinda sad"
My OCZ Vortex 2 120GB : "Still going strong since 2011"
Pretty surprising, really. OCZ had a reputation for failing SSDs back around that time. Luckily mine lasted until I needed to upgrade yet I was still on edge with the thing.
Ngl if you just want a dedicated OS drive, 120-240 GB is usually enough.
@@Senzorei Exactly. 240GB, or maybe 500 if you have a bad habit of putting things on the desktop (like I do), and your game installs, Steam library(ies), movies/music and other documents on a separate 'data' drive(s). Also helps considerably if you find yourself prone to needing to re-install the OS (failing drive, migrating to hardware your current OS doesn't support anymore, OS maker stupidly lets through broken updates and doesn't allow you to refuse/postpone them, etc.)). Also helps to keep an 'installer archive' on said data drive, to make having to reinstall the OS less of a chore.
Still using 120gb samsung 840 8 years later... i know samsung has questionable products but an ssd is not one of them
@@VulpisFoxfire Yep. I keep most of the library folders (desktop, documents etc) on my hard drive as it's typically stuff that doesn't require high bandwidths (although it can certainly be annoying when I'm downloading something or seeding torrents and trying to listen to music at the same time, it can interfere with the read of the file). I also have my %temp% and %tmp% directories located on the hard disk as well for longevity reasons (the data throughput probably isn't significant enough to cut into the lifespan of an SSD, it probably doesn't hurt though).
Love how the whole team is getting incorporated into more of your videos. Nick and Phil are good dudes.
"The inconvenience of having to set up your OS once again."
people who make image backups: lol no
I was thinking the same thing when Jay said that.
X2
yup, I'm using Arcserve UDP to a NAS. when its completely failing i just boot up Arcserve BMR and get the data from the nas directly copied to the SSD again like it was before. also my daily backup only takes about 15 mins or so. That is usually a business solution for servers etc and low downtime but it also has an awesome free version.
in this case, the C drive was still usable they could have used some imaging program (like the one i use, macrium reflect) and then there wouldn't be any need for setting up stuff
man i love imaging my C drive. Imagine your plex server one day just deciding "nope. not going to load your 50,000 customized images and movie posters"
well haha sucker I have an image of the drive. voila problem solved. days of work saved!
I've always just used Win7 backup utility every 2 weeks since its invention. Have had to reload 3 times on failed drives over the years and it's like a 20min restore.
Quick tip:
If you can keep the old drive in for longer while you’ve got the new one in, SeaGate’s disc wizard software allows you to clone your drive to another drive meaning no fresh OS install and no reinstalling all your games. Just make sure it doesn’t die while you’re cloning everything :)
Edit: I don’t mean do this when your drive is literally about to die and you’ve had warning messages, for reasons said in the replies. I just mean if you’re upgrading or your drive is starting to die :)
Edit 2: I mean it’s preference, sometimes it is a good idea to fresh install, but if you aren’t that bothered or just want to save the time then cloning is a lot simpler. You can do it either way, a fresh install may be good for some people, but if not then cloning will save lots of time :)
Thank you! AOMEI recently bricked itself for me and won't let me clone boot drives without Pro. This should solve that for me.
@@KiteAndKeyProductions clonezilla, works wonders, and its free!
@@TheCannonFather I managed to brick my OS with Clonezilla. Just use Macrium Reflect, it's free, simple and can image/copy a live OS
I tried to clonezilla my failed ssd, but it had IO errors on a clean drive I was copying to, so I just copied from my User directory using a live Linux ISO. TGFL
Samsung magician or whatever it's called is good too, any errors in the os, windows can fix them

thanks for the advice Jayson very good of you
Not sure why you wouldn't use Macrium Reflect to clone the drive. Macrium is great as you can clone active OS drives
Agreed. I have been using it for years. I was so happy with the free version I wanted to support them and bought a license.
Mirroring is a crap shoot with a failing drive. It's certainly something you can try. But if there is a bad sector or bad component with a physical failure you are at risk of copying over the corrupted software. I'm not going to put down people who have had successful experiences using raid arrays. More power to them. But for me it has been a frustrating experience. Currently my practice is to keep all operating software on one drive and all data files on another drive. Backups of the data are made every day and I also subscribe to off site data backup service for about 6 bucks a month. I also do an air gapped backup once a week of data. When I built the computer I cloned the operating system, which is on an m.2, to another m.2. I put the second m.2 in the closet. If I ever suffer a drive failure or an encryption attack I can be up and running in about an hour. So I do have a use for cloning, but I won't clone a drive with known issues. Your mileage may vary.
When a drive is failing it’s better to just get a fresh windows Install since there’s no telling if something got corrupted. It’s recommended anyway to get a fresh install of windows every few years.
FWIW I've had the best of luck with it working around bad sectors to still get an image I can chkdsk or fsck once on the target drive and it is more intelligent about EFI boot partitions as well when going to smaller drives. Definitely my first choice.

Rather than booting into the OS on the drive that is starting to fail, I would strongly recommend booting off of a separate recovery (USB) boot drive and do your backups there. I use GParted Live. Otherwise, you run the risk of further fatiguing the drive more than necessary potentially leading to permanent loss.
Agreed. The chance of corrupting (more) data by accessing a failing drive this way is high. Jay's case of "failure imminent" might be the single one (for a ssd) when it is safe to boot of the SSD. But usually one doesn't know the kind of failure beforehand.
None of the camera guys said, "bro... you got something in your teeth" ?! Also, I appreciate you Jay.

Me while cloning my friends failing HDD to SSD: '' No, no, he's got a point''.
Rip the performance...
Better to backup and then start fresh than to copy a HDD’s install to an SSD
Ive done it twice once for my laptop to an SSD and once for my brothers
For mine i had a 10 seconds reduction in boot time and i was at 60% of rated speed of the drive
For mine i then went and did a fresh install, installed all my stuff from scratch added my data back and from the same drive i had sub 10 second boot and i was at 95% of rated speed
For my brothers ive not touched it its his he can do what he wants i gave him an SSD upgrade because of Covid saving him 5 minutes at boot and 20 minutes if you take into account booting, signing in and then loading up his online lessons and programs (most laptops now come with single channel memory and the slowest HDD’s there are)
Windows does not like being clones from mechanical to solid state they are just not fully compatible and you get weird problems and worse performance than you should be getting
@@commanderoof4578 dunno what you're on about there, I've cloned from a mech drive to solid state plenty and it's a rip roaring good time
@@RandarTheBarbarian well no shit its SSD vs HDD however Windows gimps and hard and reduces the drives speed with reads and writes as well as load times vs doing it correctly and thats fresh
And i would know i have had a fresh windows install at least every 14 months for the past 12 years per windows device i own
Cloning HDD to SSD is the ultimate gimp, like cramming a V12 in a beetle it might work and really well but it will be gimped and thats fact because of how windows handles HDD’s vs SSD’s cloning from one to the other gimps it and thats assuming it works at all a good amount of the time HDD to SSD results in a working system that could break within a week or not even be able to boot again because of the change of management structure
Tho while it might be true that its not the case with much newer windows installs it defiantly is on old ones
Hell when i made my desktop i manually fluffed with the drivers and then cloned my laptop install to an NVMe drive and got gimped to 1,800MB/s read but got my 3,400MB/s write i was ment to
Did a fresh install 2 months later and then got my 3,200MB/s read speed and 3,400MB/s write i was ment to have gotten
So even SSD to SSD can gimp if you change from Sata to PCIe
@@commanderoof4578 im sorry but thats bullshit. i cloned a drive with Macrium Reflect and then built a second rig with identical drive and a clean install of the same version of win10, and they both perform identically read/write. IDK how things were back in the day, but its a waste of time to do a clean install nowdays unless you are a clueless noob that lets their drive fill up with garbage. which has nothing to do with the cloning process anyways. i don't know what you used to clone, but MR works excellently.
@@eclipsegst9419 i use my system for 11 hours a day 365 days a year windows just flat out fuckin dies so i go fresh instead of fix ive only willingly done it fresh 4 times total my entire life the rest is windows died and i put my hands down and go time to start over
Think of it like using a car for a million miles and rebuilding the gearbox eventually you simply need to replace it instead if just rebuilding it
When windows says oh im broke fix me its time to start over and thats anywhere from 8 months to 14 months in my experience over the last 12 years
And with HDD to SSD and Sata to PCIe cloning it comes down to what does windows decide to do sometimes it will update and get the performance it should get and other-times it wont
Its like taking someone use to using 3DS max and plopping them infront of Blender it will either work or it wont and it will either be borked or it will fix itself and be fine
Remember software has to adapt to the hardware and something as simple as moving data from a hardware and data standpoint is easy using the hardware is not always so simple
And i use Macrium reflect myself but the correct way Macrium USB imaging not cloning or anything else just imaging it and then thats it
You can go into an image and get you files, you can archive it and most importantly your gonna find it find to break it
Dont ever clone, image or anything that does a full system anything while using it even something simple like windows synchronising time at the wrong time breaks the entire clone or image, the tiniest thing can break the biggest of things if it happens in the worst possible way
Ive had 2 clones fail while running then live and only tried 2 times do it offline ya fine (i dont clone often i just image and then if i change drives deploy it but i keep them in the same class and interface branches so NVMe to NVMe fine, SSD Sata to SSD Sata fine, HDD to HDD fine, but mixing those 3 together is a nope only ever had issue after issue deploying to a different interface or type of storage
Fresh is so everything is well fresh and any programs you deleted or drivers you updated over time or windows updated over time, all of that adds complexity and increases chance of failure, fresh makes that chance reset to the lowest possible chance vs just plodding along installing, uninstalling, updating, changing hardware and in and on everything adds up and eventually windows breaks or slows down
I had a old HDD that was failing, i pulled it, ordered exact match, booted linux, used dd to clone disc and it worked perfect ❤
I just bought a P5 like a week ago. Really nice price-to-performance ratio, especially the fact of having a dram SSD while a dramless is just a few bucks cheaper, it's just amazing
Looks like J's gonna farm that chia with those SSDs 👀
Jay, you just missed a spot. There are ways to mirror a system drive even with different storage size. I bet you know that but forgot or its going up in another video 😉 cheers
He already did one on AOMEI, my preferred tool is clonezilla you have to use some of the advanced settings when the drive is dying sometimes but it usually works, so I'm not sure why he didn't go for it, unless nick actually just wanted to start fresh or they were too busy for the increased effort.
240s are so cheap these days if my OS drive were that small I'd almost buy a spare drive and just make a regular image clone or run RAID 1
@@RandarTheBarbarian yep, I've done it twice. On a tower, easy, and on a laptop, here I needed an accessory to connect the new ssd externally. Don't known why Jay missed or skipped the system disk clone option.

Good advice there. You really don't want to ignore this - if it should happen to you at any time.
You can also make an image of the whole ssd and blast that image to a new one so you don’t have to reinstall. You will need to expand the partition if it’s bigger

Interesting. :)
Over the years i've seen many SMART warnings for HDDs, but i have never once seen one on a SSD.
In my experience SSDs tend to go from 'everything is completely fine' to 'blarg, i'm 100% dead' within seconds and with no warning.
Always fun seeing your C: drive dissapear in windows and then watching the few seconds of weirdness in windows before it bluescreens ;)
This has been me.. either it is 100% just fine, or won't even boot, rip drivez, buy a new one and reinstall windows lol.

Congratulations Admiral JayzTwoCents
This is a good to know vid Jay
After dealing with computers professionally for the past 25 years or so, my experience is that even if EVERY SINGLE S.M.A.R.T. feature is ENABLED EVERYWHERE, harddrives and SSD will happily soldier on with numerous read and I/O failures until the system fails to boot or they just die - taking all the data with them - BEFORE SHOWING ANY S.M.A.R.T. ERRORs.
My clients only become aware of the problem after the fact when their systems fail to boot. The only symptom is that the harddrive slows down to a bog over time.
In 2021 this is just unacceptable. But so are many other things...
Another thing you can do is pull a copy of CloneZilla onto a USB drive, boot off of it, and *clone* to a better drive. Then in Disk Management, expand the drive out. Saves on reinstall, and you got a free utility that you can use to clone the drive to a compressed image while you're at it.
Also if you need to clone to a smaller disk you can shrink the boot partition in disk management prior to cloning
I have used only SMART drives side the advent of the technology. I have had something like 30 drive failures in that time and only once every actually seen a SMART error.
This is why backups are a must!!!

I believe Jay has mentioned that a 500Gb-1TB boot drives should be basic for recent PC builds (depending on usage) for this reason. I have a 500gb for my boot and use only 120GB , but most of my games/apps (400GB) are on a 2TBdrive. a 2TB drive replacement for a 240GB is future proofing for sure.
I remember back in the day there was 2 times I lost everything. Go to boot... WTH! I agree with Jay, smart is a very nice feature.
Pro tip: Don't need to reinstall OS if you use a disk cloner, like CloneZilla.
And J2C have a video on how to make a disk clone... But in any case, explaining what is S.M.A.R.T and some basics is useful by itself.
@@ivoivanov7407 Well yeah, I'm not discounting the value of the video itself, I'm just suggesting that there is a way to avoid the posited issues with moving to a new drive that the video calls for in events like as described.
Yes and no. You're right but if you have bad sectors you may still have issues once you've cloned your drive.
Q: How about cloning the old drive to a new drive using an icybox or a similar device?
Would be great to see a demonstration of setting up a RAID array as part of a build or upgrade.
"Wear Leveling Count" is the specific metric you need to look at. Usually, it has a value from 0-100 which is basically the percentage of life left (as you said).
