Today, one of my 4 HDs died. As it made my life a bit difficult, trying to get attention from me, begging for anything, even if it was just a defrag, I ignored her.
I sweared, damn you, you're my 4th HD, not like you're number one.. I don't care about you as much as I care about my 3 other HDs. She had enough. My computer froze up. I thought it was just one of those things... so I booted my computer, and I heard a distinctive *PINGGGG* sound. I knew the sound, but I didn't want to believe it just happened. I crossed my fingers, "Go on! Don't give up!"... but it was too little too late. The 'read head' had jumped, and there was nothing that I was able to do to save her. The physical damage was too much.
Gone are the memories with her files. I remember there was a day once, when I got her, when she was #1. Slowly but surely I pushed her aside all the way to 4th, as faster, bigger and more beautiful HDs came to my life. No wonder she felt neglected. I never knew how much she meant to me until she decided it was enough. I regret I didn't even give her a scan. Nothing. Not even a virus check.
This all said, life must go on. I will show better care for my 3 remaining girls. But she will be missed, and I hope she will meet other dead components in the bit heaven.
