Re: [microsound] aesthetics of hard drive failure

[Aaron Ximm <ghede@xxxxxxxx>]

Not to stoppeth one of three,

but in the let this be a warning to you al dept.,

last week one of my venerable 60 GB audio drives (all composition work)
died ten minutes after completing a full backup. G a c k. Or rather, clunk
clunk clunk...

I'd been hearing bearing-failing type noises for at least a month and was
sure it was a fan going (as it was last time). But when I opened the case,
I thought, that's funny, that noise really doesn't sound like it's coming
from the CPU or power supply... maybe I better back those old drives up.

CD rot... perpetually dying drives... all is vanity... all is dust...!
