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

      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.
