Theyre cheap. Hard drives are destined to break. I have a backup and a backup for my backups. I will not lose. Dont take the data loss Ls ive taken. Back it up before the final that day comes.

Thinking about it, I have like 1TB of my star wars collection on an external hd. If I lost that... I don't even know breh. Rebuilding would be hard. But I gotta get so much piff before I buy another external

I burn them, create a directory of the disc using directory lister so that if i need to find something later on, I can search. I've been doing this since 2004. Started with CDs, moved to DVDs, now to Blu-Rays.

I backup everything on Monday night on my 3tb WD. fukk the software that comes with it though. I just use the backup feature that comes with windows 7. shyt works well enough, but the initial transfer may take a few days.
