So here's the thing.. I'm not a dummy when it comes to PC's...
I've had WD's, Deskstar, Maxtor, and Seagate drives fail on me and that's not including my clients.
I do make backups but here's the thing that gets me
If you talk to a lot of IT pro's they'll tell you the same thing. Hard drives just do not last like they used to.
Sure you can make a backup on DVD but did you know that most DVD's although they say archive able, depending on the brand, flatness, dye lot, etc. can make your backup DVD's unreadable after just a year or less.
Most drives are unreadable if the read head has crashed in to the platter by simply doing what a lot of you stated and the professional services can run upwards of $1000.00
What's more irritating is the hassle of going through all of this BS in the first place. What ever happened to Solid State HD's!
