Lost all my loli hentai picture and hentai game I had LOADS of them, hentai videos, hentai manga, hentai voices, a gallery of anime background pictures, and lost my top quality anime. Thankfully I downloaded them back again but it took quite a while

I lost my Silver data (which had all of my level 100s from the 1st gen traded over) when I tried experimenting with a GameShark for the first time...
>>53510328
Lost three drives out of my RAID 6. Luckily one would sort of work with coaxing, so I recovered all data fine. Was about to have to bust out my optical media backups I make periodically.
Mfw I still haven't had to recover from backup media, so I have to rely on periodic spot checks to verify my backups work.
It sucks anon.

I really should try fixing it
>Samsung 80GB HDD slowly had more and more bad sectors so I replaced it with a better drive
>500GB WD got more and more bad sectors so I replaced it
>40MB IDE seagate in my old 286 suddenly made loud clicking noises and had trouble reading random sectors, no idea what a good replacement of it would be as that PC only supports a few HDDs from that time
And that's it

Been running 2x 1tb western digital bc's for about 3 years now. doesnt show any signs of corruption or bad sectors. My shit runs just as fast as the day I bought it and put it together. I do of course have maintince programs that run in the back ground weekly to prevent this type of shit
>sigh
I guess its all in how you take care of it.
Really though for the price you cant beat that drive

1TB WD Green. Started failing. Had done a recent backup already. Drive died over a few days instead of instantly so managed to save 95% of data.
Still, I've lost all confidence in Western Digital Green drives. Will go Blue or Red next time.

What programs can you recommend that will prevent/look out for bad sector build up anon?
I spent over a year perfectly designing and implementing a perfect first person melee combat system
