Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?

There is a will but there aren't enough people with enough brain power to actually do the steps needed. Should it endure? I don't know, maybe the last few decades should be forgotten.

    Crazy how a single event sometimes reminds people of bigger problems, huh?

    Digital media, where we store basically everything we care about, is hugely, hugely volatile, unreliable, and fragile. But you never notice it until you're reminded of it, and then you really notice it. This story reminded people of it.

    The reminder to stay grounded is probably also healthy, but I do think you're missing the point of this comment thread.
