Like the geese.
Jun. 8th, 2017 05:35 pmMy new external hard drive is sitting comfortably on my desk, and it all looks good from here. I've named it Beverly Road.
Without playing every single file in every single format, I can't tell if or what's still not working. The problem with my last hard drive, Upper Terrace, was degraded reading heads, not a fault of the data itself - but if the heads had degraded further, even more data would've been lost. But like I said, it all looks good from here, and the one place where things stopped working seems to be going along fine now.
The one thing I can't find is my copy of "Scooby Road" which I swear I had somewhere, but it's not where I put my vids or my TV. So I guess I'll have to go email its creator again - which, while embarrassing, is something I can live with.
Also keep an eye out for future hard drive sales to prepare myself for double redundancy in the future.
