Second to my three-part post regarding the importance of hard disks since I know you can’t get enough (wink-wink).
Have you ever experience your hard disk suddenly conking out on you? I know there are signs but I’ll reserve those for later posts. Anyway, if you haven’t I’ll tell you. I’d rather have my monitor burst into flames since it doesn’t necessarily affect the work I’m doing on my PC. But data (goodness, if data is lost) which happens with an unreliable hard disk can really send me to the hospital. Am I exaggerating? No, I don’t think so.
