another one bites the dust, my 120gb wd from 2004 died last autumn, i mourned for it, especially since it went down still carrying my single copies of thousands of pictures of 6 years and other such.

it yet rests quietely in a cardboard box on my balcony, among other graveyard computer junk a la day9's magic box of old as fuck pc part hoarding.

you will be missed my friend.

that is to say, i feel you, motbob ^^

120 GB? HOW DO YOU MANAGE!!!

who only has one HDD in their machine these days? i mean come on
i threw out my old 20 GB HDD only last year after 10 years of continuous service.It was actually still working fine it was just too slow and small for me now , even for data backup.


it yet rests quietely in a cardboard box on my balcony, among other graveyard computer junk a la day9's magic box of old as fuck pc part hoarding.

I've still got parallel port cables and a 56k modem in my PC parts box , i should really get around to throwing some of that old junk out...

Start watching everything in HD and you'll feel the burn

I've never had more than 300-350 and with some frequent clean-up I do alright. Pretty obnoxious, though =\
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

I have a 60gb WD raptor and now after reading this thread I wondered how I am able to cope and got me worried about it failing after formatting and installing the OS over and over again SC2 for US and EU regions are enough to keep me entertained I suppose :D

Well, I guess I'm not gonna wait on that TB external! Added bonus is I can download all these steam games that I currently can't because I have no room. Sorry for your loss, if I lost the stuff I had on this thing, I'd be heartbroken.
How's the weather down there?

Oh man, I feel your pain. I had a dying 120gb WD too that had to retire too like a year ago that had been working non-stop for at least 9 years. The funny thing is that at one point it just broke down and wouldn't boot any OS. I kept trying and trying for days to fix it, then suddenly just after nearly giving up, it started working again and worked perfectly for at least another 6 months. Moved to another HD once I decided to upgrade to Windows 7, then removed the old one, surprisingly enough in a pretty good condition considering it was still working.

RIP all dead and retired 120gb WDs.
Blah.

The worst thing is that I lost 50GB of my old and best WoW movies, bye bye 4 years of my life :D

I cleaned out my computer almost constantly.

I decided a few years ago that constantly cleaning, deciding what I need to delete/what I want to keep, redownloading stuff I deleted earlier,... simply wasn't worth my time given how cheap harddisks are today. We're at like 5ct/GB for external HDDs atm.

RIP Haha I know I'm poor because I can't even afford to upgrade from my two hard drives adding up to like 500GB of space. You should treat yourself though. Computer hardware dying is the perfect excuse to pimp that shit out. Do they sell petabyte HDs yet?
