Data hard drive crash
10 years ago
... and the backup is over 2 years old.
All my personal files, videos, pictures, musics, etc... gone. The OS and gaming hard drives are okay. The gaming hard drive got replaced recently for a Western Digital 4TB Black Caviar. I've heard these things are hard to kill. My OS SSD is getting really old, though. I might be due for a computer upgrade, well, at least for the OS drive. Intel is supposed to get some new CPU architecture out in a few months. But I also want to save money so I can buy my own place and finally sleep soundly during the evening and night.
Procrastination got me real hard this time. I wanted to find a good free backup software, but I kept postponing the research and just forgot about backups altogether. At least I got a recent copy of my passwords on my phone. I should have been more cautious when its other twin crashed late in 2014, the other Seagate 3TB that is. This Silverstone Fortress FT03 computer case can cook these hard drives pretty badly it seems. It's great for cooling CPUs, GPUs and the rest, though. Speaking of cooling, the crashed hard drive is currently having a freezer cure right now. Perhaps it's gonna revive it as it doesn't seem completely dead.
And I was about to leave for a 2 days hiking trips, but forecast is looking pretty wet. I think that I'm going to stay after all and see if I can fix my procrastination issue once for all.

I think I've lost the hang at computer repairs. Perhaps I should allocate a corner of my apartment and sort out the rest of my old computer parts. XE
Same time, Seagate nas and buffalo for me have auto backups...
They don't backup my sourcecodes and development stuff though....one of the reasons why i have to run my own backups.
