Just placed my HD in the freezer - let's see how it goes

****ing Seagate - I've had HDs crashing before, but noting like that - it stopped working in a split second while I was jerking off to some Japanese ****; usually, I would start hearing some cracking noise, but the HD would be working for a week or longer, giving me more than enough time to get out everything I need.


I have backups for pretty much most of the important stuff, but it'll still take me days to go back to normal. Just put the HD in the freezer - I know that it is a long shot, but what the heck, if it works, it works....


What is the easiest way to set up automatic backup?????? External HD and some RAID **** (never done that before):doh:

First, no matter what you do, get yourself a new solid state drive. They don't have the kinds of problems that mechanical drives have, but freezers do kill them. For automatic backup of the important stuff, I use Google drive. They have the best price per gigabyte. I pay $3 a month for 25gb. It's a pretty good deal.
