In the past, buying locally meant buying from someone I

While there are brand-centric trends in general, I think what really comes
out of these reports is that there specific models with very high failure
rates. Mostly these are seagate drives yes, but other seagate models don't
necessarily have issues.

Whenever possible I always check Backblaze's reports on hard drive
reliability before purchasing one. Not all models are included, only the
ones they use as a company, but so far as I know it is the only large scale
reporting of drive reliability that exists.

Fwiw, I have purchased several 4TB WD Gold drives recently. I like
pretty colors.

I recently went through the same shopping experience with more or less
the same needs as you, and the WD Red Pro 8TB is what I ended up with.

5400 RPM is probably more reliable than 7200 RPM.

Wes,
Thanks for the lesson. Connecting to a LAN port and temporarily setting
the laptop eth0 to use DHCP made the difference. This is on a Linksys wrt54g
v.2 router. I also upgraded the firmware to 4.21.5.

Thank you. Another question, how can I tell if the program opening
sockets is crashing enough times to cause problems for other processes?
My hypothesis is that this program opens 3 sockets and crashes, sockets
linger for a while. Do this n times, the Pi starts to have problems.
If the Pi is res

Jim,
Changed the laptop's eth0 to use DHCP and it's connected to the router's
WAN port. Rebooted laptop. No ipv4 add
Sockets are just file descriptors. All file descriptors should be closed
automatically as part of the process termination cleanup that the system does.
While it's good practice to handle these sorts of things they will happen
automatically if you don't.

In C there is an atexit function that takes no arguments. Because of
this, you can't pass in the
file descriptors for your sockets. Uge! Short of making these integers
global, how can I close
these sockets on premature program termination?
