MY Hard drive with all my commissions died
4 years ago
General
So my SSD drive with all my commissions died on me and now I'm trying to scrounge around and find everything again spread everywhere. Sadly I wasn't thinking it'd die so I never made a proper backup. I got a new hard drive in and slapped it in and now everything's fine again though. But am still sad that a couple of adopts and commissions I didn't post are most likely gone forever.
If you are more tech savvy than me feel free to offer suggestions here is what I know so far. the drive had windows and had all my main files on it. If i pop it into an external hard drive case and plug it in via usb the computer registers something connected by making that little connect sound but doesn't show the drive as accessible. I thought if I did it like that maybe I could get to the files that way but sadly no. The drive came with my desktop when I bought it and so it isnt anything fancy in fact I've never heard of this brand called Adata model SU630.
If you wanna make a donation to fund my computer hard ware replacements and such feel free to donate that money into your wallet and keep it there. As much as I'd like a donation I don't feel that it's proper in this case as I was a dumbass and felt assured my computer was not going to have an issue like that in 1.5 years of me buying it.
However I will accept a pity comment if anyone decides to read this.

Only thought is to dig back through discord if you have it, I have found lots of things I thought that I lost by doing that
Surprisingly some of the artists I hired were willing to send me the pieces they had done as they never deleted them. Realized also some important photos were in their of a friend but that's on me I'm hoping if I find my external drive maybe they are on there.But ya Ill check through discord and everywhere to see what I can find.
I hope SSD drives don't last this short. My family is planning to get a budget laptop for my sibling for studies and it only has a 256 GB SSD, I think? I don't have much knowledge about drives except through comparison. I hope you get out of this mess.

OP
I think normally they should last longer than a normal hdd. But I don't know about this brand as I've not heard of them. However I would imagine a drive with no moving parts should last longer maybe I just got unlucky.

What I know is that HDDs have longer lifespans than SSDs, but if SSDs on average last a year, I wouldn't say its worth it anymore.
