I think you've fallen into the trap of being scared by the news. Normal hard drive failures don't make it to HN because they're so boring and common. You even had one yourself. That's how unreliable maintaining your own backup device is.

This very story is just that - people had their own hard drive and it wasn't maintained for security so it got erased. At least this article needs to be added to your mental list of failures of local storage to balance your news-driven bias.

"At least this article needs to be added to your mental list of failures of local storage to balance your news-driven bias." What a toxic comment. You are saying far more about yourself than you are of someone you don't know at all. Projection and a lot of anger/hate inside.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Then why be wrong/unhelpful/provocative?
