Anyway, here it goes, this story is from the earlier 2000s, and I was heavily into the music scene. I made some friends who were producers (all over the internet) and regularly sent me music they were working on. I was loving it. Got myself an internal seagate drive, which I used at the time without any backups (was much less informed in these times, I was still fairly young and this kind of information was much less widespread). As you can probably imagine, the harddrive died on me after about a year and a half. Lost 300ish GB of music, among other stuff, including a ton of unreleased masters/mixes/remixes/VIPS, and I never managed to get any of it recovered. I am sad to say this included tracks from one of the DJs I knew who had died to cancer a few months before. I lost his music (at least the unreleased/rare stuff that I wasn't able to recollect) and to this day I'm still sad about this. Definitely never forgot to backup important stuff since. As a fellow audiophile I'm sure you can appreciate the pain.
