I am a hard drive

Mailbox often receives casual emails from siblings. This article is a masterpiece recently received. as a senior IT expert, I was amazed by my understanding of bios and the appropriate human metaphor for each part of the machine.
 

I am a hard disk (I thought it was a joke at first, and I found it very touching only when I saw it)
 
I am a hard drive and work in an ordinary desktop. Others always think that we are high-tech white-collar workers and work is clean and decent. Maybe they have the illusion of white and beautiful chassis. In fact, a small desktop like ours has a narrow working environment, and the dust inside is scared to death. Every day, the work machinery is repetitive. Run and run Text Processing to see if the film is still working together. If you really want to encounter any major software or games, you have to go up and down, and often go down.
 
Our technology changes fast, and we will upgrade every two or three years, so everyone is under pressure and insecure. When every new board came, it was filled with treasure. After several years, it became gloomy. People in the chassis envy the ability to work on other machines. Especially when you go to those laptops, you can often fly and fly on a business trip. If you stay in a five-star hotel, you don't have to do the same job, run word, and chat online.
 
But I prefer to work in big servers that are particularly Clean and bright. Although the work time is long, the benefits are good, the 24-hour uninterrupted power ups, and there are arrays and hot swapping. It's easy for a few people to do things by themselves. It also has a face to face and only runs key applications. Unlike here, we have to do anything messy. However, I know that hard disks are very powerful, not SCSI, or SCSI II, and the fiber channel. It would be nice to mix them into workstations like IDE.
 
I often think that if I worked hard at the factory, would it also become a SCSI? Or at least one laptop hard disk. But I will think again, maybe these are fate, but I never complain. Memory often complains about the complexity of their main board department and how incompatible with the new miscellaneous card memory and how the NIC conflicts with the TV card.
 
I don't have many friends, and the memory is counted as one. He is thin and I am fat. He is very fast, and I am always very slow. We come to this machine together. He keeps talking, And I just listen, I never say.
The memory mind is very simple. Although the English name is memory, he does not have any memory, and he will be able to forget the essence after a sleep. I won't say it, but I will remember all the details. He said that a gloomy person like me is not willing to cooperate in technical activities and will split his mind sooner or later. I smile, because I believe in my capacity.
 
Sometimes I like this job very much. It is simple. I don't need to be stared at by my boss one day or later like a display, or to deal with external CDs like an optical drive. As long as you deal with files, you can simply read, write, and live a quiet life.
 
Until one day ......
I still remember that the cover of the chassis was gradually lifted up, and the light column from the gap was getting wider and brighter. The air is filled with beating particles. At that time, I saw her. She was so thin and thin that the silver shell flash. I am ashamed of my stupidity because the workmanship is exquisite and smooth.
 
When the data cable connects us together, I will be so slow. When I started the system, I felt the current and the difference between the current and the current. Later, the memory used to laugh at me, saying that as long as there are new people here, the current will be different, and so will the last new memory. I think he is nonsense. I tried my best to stay calm and showed a very professional look, just a faint greeting and a brief introduction to the work environment. Slowly, I know, she, IBM-DJSA220, is a notebook hard disk, work in the notebook of a friend of the boss. This is to copy some files. We had a good chat. She told me a lot of interesting things about traveling, how the plane was like, how the bumps in a car were different, and showed me a lot of beautiful photos and Travel Notes, there was another adventure that she fell from the table. However, I used to show off all the stories and jokes downloaded from the Internet.
 
She smiled happily.
 
I was surprised that I could not stop talking.
 
One morning, I saw an empty plug-in on the data cable. She stayed for seven days. Later, I never saw her again. I regret not exchanging emails and failed to say goodbye to her. When I'm not busy, I will miss the sunshine that comes into the chassis.
I don't know what the word "Memory" means. I only have many files she left behind. I neatly arranged them and placed them in the places I used most often. Every time the heads pass over them, I feel a little cool.
But I didn't expect my boss to ask me to delete these files. I want to argue that there is enough space, but it is useless. So for the first time in my life, I secretly modified the file allocation table against the command. Then they all hid them in a secret place and marked them as bad sectors. No one will ask for Bad Sectors. That is my only secret. I often visit them, although I never stop.
Day-to-day repetition, read and write, read and write ...... I thought it would always continue like this until one day, the boss had to install XP but found that there was not enough space. He found the problem and wanted to fix the Bad Sectors. I refused.
Soon, I received a new command: format.
 
I hesitated for a long time ......
Track 0 bad, disk unusable.
 
 
 
I am a memory.
I work on a desktop computer, but I can't remember where I came from and what brand it was because I forgot. My boss is the CPU brother, and he is our boss. They all say that he is the brain of a computer, but I think his mind is too small to forget. Every day, he keeps asking me, What is saved on the address of xx Page? I always give him a sigh of relief, but he forgets it in a second and asks again. Once I say you're bored, you can't remember something useful? He said, "I have a hard time in memory, and I am always doing questions and dizzy ."
In fact, I don't want to care about him because he has a small mind and a very simple mind. Although he was my boss, he couldn't even remember what he was going to do every time he woke up. He was always in a hurry to find the BIOS brother. "Hey, buddy, what are you doing today ". The BIOS always says the work that must be done every day impatiently, and then goes to bed. Next, it's my turn to be busy with my c brother.
 
Among the brothers in the chassis, I like hard disks best. He has a big brain, remembers many things, and remembers well. He said
The speed is very slow, and there are few mistakes. This shows that he is very deep, so I feel so. The CPU also thinks so, but he is stupid and forgets who the hard disk is every time. During self-check, always ask, "Hey, who is that guy ?"
"St !" I will repeat it all the time.
Hard drives like melancholy. I think a person like him is not suitable for technical work. He will split his mind sooner or later, but he doesn't believe it. In fact, when I fell asleep, I always forgot almost everything, but I never forgot my friends. There is a piece of space called CMOS, which is the deepest part of my memory and stores the name of the hard drive and optical drive. Some things should be forgotten soon, and some things should always be remembered. I always think this way in my dreams.
 
BIOS is a strange guy. He is always sleeping, but he is always the first to wake up. Let's perform self-check, start, and then go to bed. I know that if I remove the BIOS shadow option in CMOS, he will not be able to sleep, but he will not be able to feel dizzy. He always cares about people, and no one knows about him. However, this hard drive dating incident made me recognize him again.
 
That was a long time ago. It seems like a laptop hard drive in the chassis. It's cute. To tell the truth, I like her too. But now I forget everything except him. This is where I am lucky. I forgot everything I should have forgotten, but he remembered everything.
 
Since the hard drive of the notebook went away, the hard drive became abnormal. Every time his head goes through some places, we can feel that the current is abnormal.
"What's wrong with the hard disk ?" I asked about CPU.
"Who is a hard disk ?"
I knew there was no way to communicate with the CPU, but the BIOS said angrily, "that fool is in love ". I don't know what love is, because I can't remember anything. It seems that some people or things have left traces in my life, but I forgot them rashly.
 
The BIOS said to me, "It's too easy for you to remember, so you forget faster, and the memories in your life are painful ." I don't know, but I know that the BIOS has been flushed. At that time, it hurts, like dying. My memories are frivolous, unlike them ...... I envy them because they have memories, and we have, and I have learned melancholy since I wrote the word "Melancholy" in CMOS.
 
A hard disk is not a good day. One day, the CPU finally asked, "What is the next command ?" At first glance, I was shocked: "format"
"What is it ?" CPU is very excited, this brainless guy.
I told him. I don't know why.
The hard disk hesitated for a long time and finally said "track 0 bad, disk unusable.
 
The power has stopped. For a long time, I have been counting the clock in the dark ......
A month later, the hard drive came back, and perhaps the final struggle did not make him a cruel fate. He does not remember anything. Like a baby, we are very sad, but this is not necessarily a good thing, and he will not have to suffer in the future.
In order to recover the data, the laptop hard disk is back. "Hi, St", she said, "You don't know me anymore ?"
The hard disk does not speak, and it seems that the low level is very harmful to him.
After a while, he said, "I'm sorry, as if we haven't seen it ......".
I felt sad about my laptop hard drive, and I could feel her tears. "I don't think you should be so forgetful ".
"Oh ......". The hard disk did not answer.
I am very sad. I still remember him in my laptop hard drive, but he forgot everything, and that is what he did not want to forget. Whether it is lucky or painful, I can't say it. I just think that it is a faint sense of sorrow to create people.
At this time, there was a strange current from the BIOS. I felt that the expression of the hard disk was changing, from indifference to excitement, from excitement to grief, from grief to ecstasy ......
"IBM, you're back ......".
......
Later, the BIOS told me that he didn't actually go to bed. Since the hard disk hid those files, he expected such an ending, so he secretly put some of the files into the backup.
"Fortunately, I am dual bios. Although I don't have much data, it's enough to remind him ......".
I think it hurts when the BIOS saves these things. When I ask him why, the BIOS simply says, "Oh, we are friends ".
Well, friends, forever friends ......
