Drive Failure

This morning I booted up my machine and plugged in my ‘trusty’ 2.5 Portable USB Hard Drive, containing some work, music and a few photos from the last year or or so. The drive is less than a year old.

I was greeted with the ‘click-of-death’. You know, the sound where you know, your drive is dead, and everything you have on there will be inevitably inaccessible. That means, maybe a year of my life might disappear into mashed up 1’s and 0’s.

So, i’m in shock. By the way it’s a Toshiba. All I can say is, don’t buy Toshiba.

This makes me a little concerned. Can anyone ever be so sure as to no matter how many backups you have, that all of them could actually fail in the end? Nothing lasts forever…
