Title says it all. Most of the stuff I had no backup for. It sucks but I’m trying to take it in stride. Time will tell if I actually needed any of that data or if I was just hoarding it with no actual use.
I’m still trying to recover the data with pros, and in any case I’ll find a cost-efficient way to keep backups from now (any suggestions? One drive? External SSD?)
Have any of you experienced this? How do you feel or how would you feel? Is this your worst nightmare? Let’s discuss
Once as a teenager I think I had a drive die and I lost my data, but ever since then I’ve always made sure to have a backup of my data. Ironically, I haven’t had a drive die since then lol. For example, I’ve got ssds from over a decade ago still running daily with no issues.
Yeah I don’t think I’m getting an HDD ever again
All storage media fails HDD or SSD. Focus on a backup plan, not your media type.
All drives die eventually whether they are HDD’s or SSD’s.
8 years is a good run for any type of drive.
Backups are key for keeping your data safe over the decades.
