What a good argument for backing up data.
I'm surprised drives last as long as they do.

Combine that with the disc spinning at anywhere from 7,200 to 15,000 RPM (which they really didn't point out) it's a wonder how they ever work reliably.

It's equally as stupid but at least it looks really long. I'm probably just going to keep typing until I run out of things to babble about and see how many people actually read this. I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!
