My hard drive is dying again! I swear, this computer goes through hard drives like they were just snack food. I woke up in the middle of the night to find that my computer wouldn’t come out of the screen saver monitors turned off mode. I just flicked the switch and didn’t start it until morning. After about 5 mins of running it in the morning I got that all too familiar “click” -> freeze -> BSOD -> restart. It restarted by itself which is kinda new. Anyways, this is why I bought a motherboard with SATA RAID cabability so I’m going to go buy a couple of SATA hard drives today and I’ll finally have my redundancy. I have not budgeted for this but I’ll have to find a way to cover the costs. I almost feel like throwing my computer out the window, but I live on the second floor and that’s too harsh… first floor maybe, but then again my car is parked below my window, and I could never do that to my precious anyways… my precious…

  3. Yeah, they either die with spectacular catastrophy, come broken out of the box, or get fried by my exploding power supply. Either way, I can’t wait for solid state storage to become viable.
