This adventure started many years ago, in a place far away. Really, about a decade ago and 2500 miles away from where I live now, is when I my first major drive failure that was not fully recoverable. And by fully recoverable I mean I lost some data. I did back up then but not on a regular basis. The drive that failed me was a Seagate 3GB drive. I was not alone. Seagate faces class-action lawsuit over 3TB hard drive
