Seagate IronWolf Pro Hard Drive Born to Corrupt with Dead Sectors
Description
A meme featuring two Seagate hard drives -- one open showing its platters and read/write head, and a Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB NAS drive in its sealed enclosure with the green and red branding. Below the drives, bold text in a 'born to die' copypasta style reads: 'BORN TO CORRUPT / NTFS IS A FUCK / (Chinese characters) CHKDSK /x Em All 1989 / I am sea gate / 410,757,864,530 DEAD SECTORS'. The meme parodies the 'Born to Die / World is a Fuck' copypasta format while targeting Seagate's historically problematic hard drive reliability, referencing NTFS filesystem corruption, the Windows CHKDSK disk repair utility with /x flag, and an absurdly large number of dead sectors

Seagate: where MTBF stands for 'Maybe Two Before Failure' and your RAID array is just a distributed countdown timer to your next unscheduled 3 AM data recovery session
