 Yesterday my main hard drive failed on me. The only warning I got was about two days before this, my computer would POST a little bit slower than usual while booting up. But even though there was that warning, I didn't think too much of it. So if you've been procrastinating to back up your data, you better stop and back it up now.
I am quite fortunate because I only just decided to buy an external hard drive for backup and storage purposes a month ago. It's a good thing I bought it and backed up all of my data because the hard drive I lost contained the My Documents folder which houses all of my music, web site files, income records, ISOs, and other good stuff. I would have been quite upset if I lost all of that data. I did however, lose my notepad that contained a lot of ideas on topics to write about on this site. I also lost everything else that was on my desktop and I also lost my bookmarks. So don't forget to backup that stuff too. If you are going to buy an external hard drive, I'd go with a Western Digital. They are one of the top brands with only Seagate rivaling them in quality. This Western Digital Elements 500GB External Hard Drive  from Newegg is a good one. And it is on sale as of the day I am writing about this. Sorry if you live out of the States, Newegg ships to the US only. Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick heads up to you guys. I would have lost approximately 110GB of important data if it wasn't for my external hard drive. So go backup your data if you value it!
