@ScottHelme Is it a multi-layer PCB?
That looks like a surface-mount capacitor to me but I am not even slightly an expert.
Wondering if you might be able to "just" solder in a replacement cap if you can find the value. I did a quick search but could only find a whole new PCB (which I spose might be an option).
Anyone know more?

Zum Technikmontag gibt es eine 2,5"-Festplatte aus Anfang der 1990er-Jahre. Kapazität = 121 MB (!). Da hätten damals lediglich 4-5 Fotos im Raw-Format der Wikipedia:Lokal K- Kamera draufgepasst.

Mattez moi cette brochette de techno nazis et ses colabos

Il est tristoune ce dechet de libertarien de devoir reconnaitre que leur daube genere des crises profondes
Ca le fait rire alors que ca genere des catastrophes sociales et ecologiques

Et ces COLABOS de scientifique comme "defend intelligence" aurait du s'appeller "defend fascism"

....

C pire que tout les scenar de films
Car eux le font pas par erreur, ils savent les risques, ca les amuse
Ils se moquent bcp et encaissent l'argent

Ces gens la devraient etre traduit dans des tribunaux revolutionnaires 👀

Hard disk recycling in a #backup #server: Clearing new 24 TB hard disks took 29 hours. Then another day will go to proof-read same disks before creating a new ZFS pool. 5 x 24TB as raidz2 should give about 70TB usable space.
Old pool 7 x 8TB as raidz3 was about 30TB. I used raidz3 in old because the disks were then already five years old.
The old disks - now ten years old - showed some new bad blocks in wipe, but still under 100 bad ones in SMART. They get third life as cold backup.

#WD launches #HDD #recycling process that reclaims #rareearth elements, cuts out #China
#WesternDigital announced it has created a large-scale #harddisk drive recycling program in concert with #Microsoft and recycling-industry partners #CMR (Critical Materials Recycling) and #PedalPoint Recycling. The new process reclaims Rare Earth Oxides (REO) containing dysprosium, neodymium, and praseodymium from hard drives, along with aluminum, steel, gold, palladium, and copper.
