when i was 17 or 18 i took lots of photos. one day my hard drive acted strangely and i didn’t think much of it. months later upon turning computer on i would hear a faint clicking noise and lost all the photos of my child hood. that is why i have external hard drives now. i still don’t back up my stuff but i have so much junk that if a hard drive fails i won’t be so sad.

what is your story?
