Hard Drive Failure
I seem to have major problems with external hard drives, I just destroyed my second one, my first one was damaged by dropping it while it was writing something. 500 gigs of data, mostly music and the like, I felt it was a pretty good piece of machinery, but sadly, I broke it.
I bought another one pretty quick afterwards. I was very careful with it and I never moved it or anything like that. Now this one has the problem of not responding after a few minutes of use so I am able to recover the data, 2-5 gigs at a time. Unfortunately, I can’t use my laptop to do this because it screw up all the other usb stuff for god knows why though I think I may be overloading my usb ports with usb hubs. So I have to use an old desktop that I go from Fry’s that was outdated when I bought it. I now use it to seed torrents, mainly out of print stuff, creative commons political materials and fan edits of movies.
Did I mention I don’t have a monitor for it? I have to VNC it all the time, since I don’t really use it except to run one task, it’s not that big a deal but it is now complicating my job of moving 500 gigs, 2-5 at a time. To further complicate that, 200 of those gigs are my music collection and thus is making it difficult to post any mp3s. So I gots to take a little break while I handle the crisis at home. Please understand and I’ll hopefully write some content that will just wait for mp3s.
In the meantime, enjoy this totally rad Pharcyde video
