  • SK Kiat with this winning comment:

    I once had a hard disk which failed and i try many ways to make it work. There was a ticking sound for the disk. I tried to position the disk in different ways, and finally after hours of trying , i found a position where i can finally boot. lol then faster get all my data.

    Here goes my story: Couple of years back, I have been relying on an old external hdd (brand shall not be revealed) to backup my mac for a couple of years. Suddenly one day of attempting to backup via time machine, the hdd cannot be recognised by my mac, i was shocked and horrified! All 1TB of data cannot be retrieved nor read! I asked around how much will data recovery costs and I have to say: ITS EXPENSIVE. Fast forward today, i rely on NAS to do my synching backups and so far (touch wood); my data are all safe. I have never tried cloud storage (AWS S3/Box.net/Dropbox) as I have huge data files and the upload will take days to do so ..

  • Valentine C with this winning comment:

    How I lost my data before: hard disk crashed and I had no RAID setup or backups. SSD crashed and I didn’t backup *all* my data in time! And I DD’ed a blank disk onto one with data once …
