Lost a hard drive from my PC this weekend

Do you even cloud bro?
I have always refused to use remote drives, but looks like it would have been worth the squeeze here
Might could have, but I took it apart to try and fix it and I broke it more then I get mad and scratched it up with my screwdriver
Fortunately the wife has a ton of pictures on her phone and other things. I still have all the stuff from my kids first 2 years as well. I’m gonna see what I can dig up the next couple weeks and definitely back up all that. Got a removable drive yesterday
Should've stuck it in the freezer for 15 minutes and tried it

You failed your anger management classes
This sounds like my home repair process. Try to fix it, but end up fucking it up worse and have to call someone to fix it.

Drop it in a bowl of rice.
It’s humiliating too. These guys come in and see what you’ve done and you know they laugh with all their coworkers behind your back
I could have helped.
Never break the seal of a traditional Hard drive.
That picture is a beautiful representation of the internal spinning discs. You can also see the magnetic reader at the top. The sensor on it is so close to the rotating disc that a particle as small as one from cigarette smoke will fill the tiny gap between it and the disc Surface. So don’t smoke around computers. And never open up a hard drive.
There are software tools to recover data from a failed hard drive.
