About this image
Going to be out for a few weeks. The image above are the two hard drives that housed my OS and games. Seems they both are dead as door nails. I have to wait till the start of the month to buy new ones, oh well. When I do get replacements they'll be one ssd and a 2.0 TB.

They replaced a 1 TB black that had gone back bad in under a year's time.
I did start making saves to memory sticks a few years back. My characters have actually been ported from those the last two years when I did reinstalls for oblivion. To many of which I remembered important files After the install had begun.
I also had backed up my CUO, Krista, and cm partner mods. Not sure if I did the files I got of AlienSlofs...
Hopefully if I did loose files I may be able to retreated some data from the 2 TB black since it was storage not the OS.
Update, I've pulled my old PC out of the closet till I can get the SSD and 2tb in next month. This system was originally made to play the Cata Xpac for WoW. It seems to be working fine after I reset every thing back to Vanilla.
Not sure if I'll be posting any new images. I'm hesitant to do a data folder build until I've got my gaming rig running again.
some thing like this happen on Oblivion community many time ( and me too - ,. -)
that why I always back up my Oblivion data every month on external harddisk - w -
HDDs die or get slower quickly when constantly used compared to used for storage. They just don't do well under constant stress.
I have four dead under my hand as well. It's not brand specific problem, 2x Seagate, Samsung, Western Digital. HDD is just too old of a technology to bother anymore, (Specifically 1954-55 old). Only benefit is being a lot cheaper per GB, and having high capacity per device.
I still have my very first PC (I never depollute my Computers when I buy a new one) and I sometimes boot him - just for fun - and his HD works fine, although it is over 10 years old.
By the way: I feel very sorry for you *hugs*
Meanwhile my WD BLACK has lasted that long.
Get yourself a black...... I don't think 7 dead is non-coincidental.

Good luck for the next anyway.
