Today, when I went to go take a shower, I did not notice that the power supply for the harddrive was wrapped around the arm of my chair. When I pulled my chair back, it pulled the external harddrive off of my desk and onto the floor, breaking it. I have now lost 170 gb of anime that I had just moved from my "Downloads" folder to it. Luckily all WD products come with a 2 year warranty. From now on I'm taping that motherfucker to the desk.    | ||

I hate it so much when my hard drives go fubar for whatever reason, mainly because of the data loss. | ||

Propped up on the highest level of the desk like an idiot. There isn't anywhere else for me to put it really. I'm buying a new desk soon so I plan on getting something with some lower shelving. I'm gonna start backing my shit up on discs too jic. | ||

Ah yeah, I started doing that but dvds are just too small... and take so long to burn. Its only really worth it if the stuff is somewhat irreplaceable. | ||

I'm just having a hard time picturing a setup where this could occur... yeah im a bit confused by this too, i cant imagine any set up where the wires cant go around the back of whatever you're using somehow. My external hdd is just in a drawer, no funky shit happening to it in there. A well ventilated drawer where cats that I don't have can't get at it. | ||

I'm just having a hard time picturing a setup where this could occur... I'll take a picture of my setup with the broken drive. Don't be shocked at my disgusting hikikkomori cave + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i45.tinypic.com/xge4he.jpg) So, as you can see, the power supply is running down the front of the desk into my power strip. The smart thing to do would have been to pull my desk back an inch and run the cord down the back but I'm not smart. | ||

As a result, for my next computer, I built a desktop with a case with six internal hard drive slots. I have ONE external that I only use to move shit around, like giving large folders to friends and whatnot. MY HEART WAS RIPPED FROM MY BODY THAT FIRST TIME. | ||
