Hard disk

From TermiSoc: A WikiHistory

A hard drive is a device where you can lose all the data kept on it.

This phenomenon is usually preceded by the wish to back up your data.

as Gemma states on her website:-

"It is strange the hard drive started to error just as I was planning to transfer my data to somewhere safer. One of my previous posts commented on this phenomenon, it feels like your hard drive is more likely to fail when you are planning to back up than when you are not planning to back up. So when you plan a backup you must backup immediately to avoid Murphy."

As of March 2006, TermiSoc has had to replace four hard drives in under a year: apple's in May 2005, banana's in June 2005, orange's in August 2005 and ford's in March 2006. See Great Server Failure.
