No, The Wonky Dock is not a fancy restaurant. Think that’s not you? Here are three more situations, maybe one of ‘m rings a bell 😉 The Wonky Dock

Until recently, only situations like shooting in the jungle or desert would require you think about heat, but nowadays it’s different: shooting Full HD proxies on an Inspire drone’s MicroSD, which then gets offloaded with a Surface Book’s integrated reader, is not a too far-fetched situation, even for professionals. Heat is precisely that what makes storage unreliable, and due to Moore’s law exponential. It has lead to great form factors for cameras, drones and action cams, but physics didn’t join the party the smaller something is, the less capacity it has to dissipate heat. Capacity increases, and thus the footprint of storage becomes smaller. Technology always miniaturizes, whether it’s a CPU or storage. Since both are not bad tech at all, let’s have a look at why this is happening. Honey, I shrunk the cardsĪs said, two things are causing the increasing error rate: miniaturization and USB-C. That’s quite cheap for the added benefit of automatically checking your hardware, so we advise to always use Checkpoint. If you have a drive with MHLs onboard for all files, Checkpoint takes zero extra time. Keenan Mock of Light Iron dubbed this the Hero Checksum:

What if your source is not a camera card, but a travel drive? If made by professional DITs, it’s likely to have one or more Media Hash Lists, containing the original checksum. It takes quite some CPU cycles to calculate them, so it would be a shame having to redo that over and over again. Even if just the last file has an issue, this way you’ll still save time. Instead of verifying a source after the entire copy finishes, Checkpoint works on a file per file basis. That’s why we’ve smartened up Checkpoint:Įarly Detection - The goal here is to detect hardware issues, so it’s best to know as early as possible. Since a checksum is only taking into account the file’s contents, all the overhead of creating file structures, checking permissions, attributes and more can be skipped, leaving a barebone read stream. Reading twice from a drive luckily doesn’t take twice as long.

Sounds familiar? That’s because it is - it’s identical to our verification app Checkpoint, but on speed. We call this source integrity process Checkpoint. There’s no way of telling which read is the correct one, so there’s only one solution: Full Stop. Rereading that file will give a different result, and thus raise a red flag that something’s amiss on a hardware level. These errors are random and caused by intermediate electronics instead of drive issues. Read errors, on the other hand, are not recoverable. Write errors leave evidence: corrupted bits can be sniffed out by comparing them with other copies (and in the case of Hedge, repaired.)

If a read error happens, it propagates incorrect data is presented to the Mac or PC, checksums are made from the wrong data, and it’s written to all destinations - which then checks out nicely with the checksum.įortunately, there is a way to detect this kind of errors, thanks to the difference in nature between read and write errors. In reality, this is not the case heat, dust and wonky hardware can cause hiccups, resulting in something that differs from what is actually on the source. But there’s one big caveat: it assumes the source always spits out its bytes perfectly. Transfer errors are all caught, and you move on to the next source. When offloading, copies are verified against the source. Long(er) version: keep reading 📖 Source Integrity Short version - enable Checkpoint in Hedge 18.3’s preferences:

We think two things are causing this increase: miniaturization, and USB-C.īefore going into the why let’s talk about how to fix it. Worse even, we see their error rate going up. Unfortunately, these are far from infallible. Between what is on the card and what is received by the host is a long and winding road, controlled by readers and peripherals like hubs and docks. Not the media itself, but that what is used to get data off of it. Instead, sources have become the weakest link. Soon, you’ll retire a drive not because it failed, but because it’s just too small.

HDDs have become so reliable - eight years of working-life is already on the horizon - that the hunger for terabytes will for the first time outpace lifespan. But today, backups are no longer the weakest link in production. The older a hard disk became, the more write errors would occur. Back in the day, checksum verification was introduced because of the rapid decaying quality of storage.
