Lost a hard drive from my PC this weekend

[shiv]

All kinds of family pictures and important documents. Make sure to back your shit up. I didnt.

I smashed it up some after I couldn’t get it to work, but those things are durable

I have always refused to use remote drives, but looks like it would have been worth the squeeze here

Have you tried a data recovery service? I hear it can be expensive, so it obviously depends on the value of what’s lost.
I have no clue it it’s doable after taking out your frustrations on the disk though.

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

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.
