You are all here to witness the death of the beloved Maxtor 6E040L0 which served as a back-up drive for many years. Well, Its a near death experience. I went to copy some php files from my hdd and I had that error message saying some of the sectors were dead. My head practically fell from my shoulders to the floor… I am now copying all of the data from the hardrive to my local C drive… Thankfully the slave and master hardrives are removable… So it wont be any case opening for me tonight… What a way to go though… The day before Christmas Eve. ☹ Any tips on maintaining the health of harddrive at all? shall I give it a massage to relieve it from stress, or acupuncture to help it relax?
