for some reason my 2 120gig wd 8meg catch drives decided to die on me.. i am so confused. they were both full. 🙁

 

[ElementalDragon]

wait..... are you confused as to WHY they died, or as to the fact that they died when they were full? Either way, one motto kinda pops into mind.

"Expect the unexpected"

1) 120 + 120 = 240

2) Backup

*edit: It sucks losing that much pr0n, doesn't it? 🙄

 

[VenomXt]

im just bitching. i am confused why they died. but somehow they are still under warranty so i wil send them off.

only thing i am really upset about losing is about 300 megs of pictures.
sigh oh well lesson learned backup!

 

[dreamliner77]

[VenomXt]
