I've used local hard drives from like 1992 and I have never ever gotten them to overheat.

just a lame-ass excuse for not finding whatever evidence they were looking for.

elsewhere, some seeding was done.

now they'll do the 'full' data grab and 'find' what they were looking for.

No matter what actually happened here we can confidently state this clown is full of shit and has no idea what he's doing.

What in the fuck is this idiot doing? I've process datasets far larger than that and never once have I run into a hard drive "overheat". I mean what level of incompetence do you have to have to get a hard drive to overheat processing a measley 60K rows of data?
