Discussion What’s the oldest HDD you’ve used for EndeavourOS? 👀

Mine is from 2008, running EndeavourOS KDE Plasma. Still smooth, and boots surprisingly fast! 😂

Anyone using an even older HDD?

Is that a typo and you meant TB or do you really have a 40GB HDD? That thing must be 20+ years old. Cool that it still works.

pulled from an intel celeron 2000 model, planted into an i3 530 bought later in 2010, finally hdd decommissioned in 2022. the details are in my comment history. the 530 box is current. search for "i3".

I've only booted EndeavourOS from SSD but I have a 6TB HDD from 2014 that I use as a big spool drive for an app I wrote. The app doesn't need a ton of spool bandwidth so the HDD is more than sufficient.

What an oddly specific question to ask involving EndeavorOS.
