I regularly work with data in the 16tb range and weirdly my computer is fine. Git gud, doge scrubs.
I bet a million bucks the harddrive didnt "overheat".
Its just someone who doesnt know anything about computer hardware.
Its like me saying my car overheated if there is smoke coming out of it. I know nothing about cars.
I’ve found a lot of people call the computer itself the “hard drive”.

What is this, a table for ants? Because that’s the average number of ants in an ant colony and it’s nowhere near an impressive amount of rows to be doing any sort of processing on. It wouldn’t be an impressive amount of rows if your rig was an i386DX-33 running off a 5” floppy.

Technically they could have had been using a computer without any temperature sensors or fans and each row was actually a 1GB file.
And also they had a hairdryer pointed the the drive.
It's possible!
