Which valuable parts can a used functioning IDE/PATA drive have? I discovered a working Toshiba MK2018GAP HDD2164 drive (similar to http://hood.de/auktionsdetails.cfm?auctionID=91399293 , probably the same) at home, and some folks (who disappeared from my view and whom I cannot ask any longer...

Thanks. Not sure I'll do it (since I could hypothetically destroy yet another USB stick in the cause of the action), but thank you anyway!

Thank you for an answer. 2: Is there any such live iso? If you have one in mind that works with my ASPEED AST2500 64MB graphics card outputting to a VGA header port (so that we have graphical output at all) AND has GParted installed, I'd be happy to know it. (Clearly, we wish to avoid...

Gparted is started as "sudo gparted /dev/sdf". Why from a live iso? I can grab any version from the Debian repositories if you tell me which version is required. (A live Debian ISO would be messy to get to work for me, since neither gparted nor the network drivers required on my computer are...

Failure:

The menu entry “delete” is gray and cannot be chosen:

I dd'ed a USB thumb drive with an ISO image (in preparation for an installation), and the drive got unusable (readable, but the GPT is not writable). The most likely cause is that the drive was automounted, and I didn't notice it while dd'ing. How can I reinitialize the drive in Ubuntu (or, as...

I would like to build a PC that serves the following purposes: 1. In the first months after building it (approx. 4–8 months long) the machine will perform scientific computations more or less continuously under Debian Linux. I will need ≥ 8 logical processors for the computations plus 2 spare...

I left it open on purpose. I'm o.k. with printing to the fax device through CUPS (and then some dialogue window would pop up asking for the phone number). I'm also o.k. with starting a standalone application that asks for a PDF/TIFF/PS file and the fax number of the recipient. I'm also o.k. with...

A fax device is needed, with which it is possible to fax documents from Linux through a router. The Linux variant is Ubuntu focal (main restricted universe multiverse, without PPAs) running on a Dell Latitude E6440. A firm connection between the fax device and the laptop (via a cable or a card)...

No. I have external QVO, and it's more than enough. I would go for the cheapest 1TB drive that the market offers now; you don't need an SSD, you don't need a brand name, and you don't need it very fast. If the drive dies, you don't really need the data. At my place, the cheapest 1 TB happens to...

@fzabkar Not from an mSATA, but thanks anyway!

Does anyone of you have the Samsung 860 EVO mSATA 1TB bought from Samsung more or less directly (rather than from eBay or dubious resellers)? If so, I'd be grateful to you if you could post the relevant parts of the S.M.A.R.T. information (e.g., parts output via smartctl) showing the chipset...

Discovery edited :). Thx! So, does the power consumption remain the same?
