Well, I found out today that my 1TB hard drive in my three-year-old desktop went bad (uncorrectable sector errors). It’s a Western Digital! Gee! The hard drive in my Apple Powerbook 1400 laptop is still going strong after 19 years of use!
Any relationship between my bad hard drive and Western Digital MYBOOKLIVE software updates, I believe,must be purely coincidental- but it’s just plain weird to have this happen simultaneously!
Being able to store terabytes of data sounds great, but if the drives are unreliable, that can make for a very scarey situation! Happy Halloween!
I know… backup, backup, backup! Which is exactly what I was trying to do with the MYBOOKLIVE drive.
Now I have to think about how I’m going to transfer everything, data and programs, onto my new “Seagate” 1TB hard drive replacement in my desktop. That should be a trip!
