I'm getting my computer ready to completely wipe the hard drive clean and re-install windows. So I took all my downloaded videos, all my photos from 2003-2005, and some other files and moved them to my external hard drive (Guess where this is heading.....).
We had a power outage, and after the power came back on my computer wasn't seeing the external drive anymore. So I unplugged the drive, plugged it back in, and now its making a nice clicking noise constantly. So I unplugged the drive, did a quick search on the internet, and found its going to take about $1200 or so to get it fixed since they have to replace some internal parts.
So after a quick fit of rage and knowing there is no way I can afford to get it fixed, I remembered about the stacks of DVDs I have in the closet. I pull them out, and lo & behold, I have 3-4 backups off all the photos that were on the drive
Now I wish I had backups of the video that was on that drive
So, which external hard drives do ya'll have, and how much do you like them? I'm planning on buying 2 within the next few weeks.
