..my harddrive died on me. All 60GBs of it, gone. Two
folders with 700 MP3s each, plus I had started on a third
folder.

And no, I didn't have any back-ups. I also learned my lesson
now. Oh well, I could be sitting in a shuttlecraft, breaking
up at 200,000ft, while going at 18 times the speed of
sound.

I don't back up my mp3s, but I do most everything else.

There are a lot of people making a big fuss how HD just
aren't as reliable as they used to be, and as they should
be.

sorry about that m8, but you did find your own perspective
about your problems compared to others....

Never get an IBM drive! My 60GXP only lasted 14 months. My
old 8GB piece of shit drive lasted 4 years. Seems drives ARE
getting worse. IBMs are notorious after the 75GXP scandal.


FU IBM!

yeah, even Maxtor drives have been struggling

they are building the quality out of HDs to get the prices
down....not a good idea in my book

With an awful metallic noise. I rebooted and it was gone.
Now BIOS can't find it anymore.

I remember mine died... and I cried.

Now I back up files like a maniac. Every damn kilobyte is
present and accounted for on CD-R.

My computer will NOT fuck me over again! No sirree BOB!

I almost WANT the fucker to crash now, so I can point at my
pile of a million CD-Rs and laugh.

Bring it, you Pentium bitch. I DARE you to crash.

Hard drives are so cheap I just do a cold mirror onto a
duplicate 80 GB drive every night.

I ordered a 120GB Seagate Barracuda V (8MB cache special
edition). I think I'll start backing things up too. Sounds
so much easier than trying to find all the good pr0n again.
