Backblaze has published a description of what it’s like to be a hard drive in the company’s data center, writing it from the perspective of a hard drive called Zach. Wonderfully silly, for sure, but it’s an engaging approach complete with interesting technical bits.
That was a fascinating article. Made me realise I have to treat my hard drives with more dignity and respect - from henceforth they shall all be named something meaningful.
