When Technology Failed...

This is the crashed super small hard disk drive of my VAIO TZ laptop. (I added the AA size battery just for scale purposes)
"Your data is unrecoverable" Two different professional technicians said!

I always advise my friends to frequently backup their data, and I did it myself too.
Fortunately I do backup twice a month, and I didn't loose lots of information. But I lost all my photos from Gavkhuni swamp and Isfahan trip, in addition to Fatemeh's photos and Somayeh's photos.
Sorry Somayeh and Fatemeh...

I had unforgettable moments I have the pictures of, in my mind.

.
The title of this is bruised kismet.
They call it foreshadowing in Literature.
That was my feeling when i was reviewing my remaining pictures.

P.S: Pomegranents foreshadowed the bruised Kismet.

قدرت خدا رو ببين كه عكساي به اين بزرگي رو توي يه تيكه فلز به اين كوچيكي جا مي كنه، اونوقت شياطين ميان و اونا رو پاك مي كنن
مثل اينكه يواش يواش داري در خراب كردن و سوزوندن لب تاپ و هارد سوني اوستا مي شي ها
مواظبت بايد باشيم ديگه يواش يواش

Mojtabaa says:

مي دوني من چقدر شن خوردم تا سميه اون عكسا رو از من گرفت؟
مي دوني تا چند روز از همه جام ماسه مي ريخت بيرون توي خونه؟
اصلاً مي دوني اونجا كه تا گردن رفتم تو ماسه ها و سرم رو از توي قفسة سينم بچه ها كشيدن بيرون من چه احساسي داشتم؟
يعني محض رضاي خدا يكي از اون عكسا هم نموند؟
مي دونم لب تاپت هنوز گارانتي داره و دلم نسوخت خيلي براي هاردت
:D

I am sorry to hear that Hamed... I have suffered the same some six months ago... Fortunately I burn off complete sets of photos to DVD, but only the final, post PSD JPG's. I lost all original RAWs, JPGs and PSDs.

So, after that painful lesson, I bought a WD external RAID. I can't recommend it highly enough. It offers Raid protection (Mirroring the two physical 1TB drives, and so reducing the 2TB to 'just' 1TB, but still plenty of space to be able to archive every photo in RAW format.), it functions as a NAS, and best of all it uses the NAS capability to offer remote access even when your computer is off - providing your internet connection is 'always online' type.

Hamed Saber says:

@youngrobv: Thanks a lot. Fortunately I just lost last 3 days of my photographs archive. The worst thing to me is that Fatemeh and Somayeh lost last 3 days of their photographs too...
And yay! U mean I pay 800$ for some storage? ;)

@Shapour_3: ایشالا :)

@Maryam.z: چه خوب که از فلیکر نرفتی مریم جان

@Mojtabaa: خدا تو رو برای ما نگه داره. آمین

@' Mehrdad Mortezaee ': ایشالا تو شادیای شما جبران کنیم

@Fatemeh A: انارا رو خوردی؟

@Siris ..: خوبی تو؟ سراغ نمیگیری

@kavehkhkh: FOUR years? All of my photography experience is lasts 1.5 years ;)

youngrobv (Rob & Ale) says:

Yes it is a lot of money for sure, but after believeing for a few minutes I'd lost years of photos, I didn't tihink about price anymore... Although I have to admit, before the crash I was running short on storage space anyway...!

Sorry for the loss. I had a hard drive crash before also, and lost a lot of early photos of my kids, after my son was first born. Happened before I made a disc copied, so I know what it's like.

rahulnirmal2000 says:

This is scary, how do things like this happen? I read a review of a Vaio TZ with a SSD (solid state drive) and they couldn't finish the review because it died on them suddenly.

Also read of someone losing all of his data when his hard drive just crashed, how does it happen? Only way to be safe is to always back your things up (but not on other hard drives because they will also fail??)

@Vapileh ♥♠♦♣: بقای عمر شما

@rahulnirmal2000: Yes, you should periodically take backups

@topazz1963: Thank you, and condolence..

@Maryam.z: این که هنوز اینجایی بسی جای خرسندی و شادیه. ایشالا که همیشه سالم باشی و پاینده

@Mahyar K: I know how to substitute the controller board of 3.5 and 2.5 inches hard disk drives. Even I know how to change the cylender motor of 3.5 inches ones. But you know, this is a 1.8 inches super slim HDD, which sounds like playing ping pong when I connect it to 3.3v power source. So I think the media is crashed, and it's almost impossible to recover such a crash with less than 10,000$ ;)
BTW, thanks a lot for your suggestion Mahyar jan

I have seen an adaptor letting you use 1.8" hard drives in desktop PCs or put it in an external enclosure as an external hard drive.

ouch. can't wait for SSD to be the dominant form of storage

Hamed Saber says:

@YSC: Buy they are very sensitive to magnetic spaces!

@rahulnirmal2000: I didn't hear about it yet. Note that these 1.8" HDDs are using 3.3v instead of 5v

@Reza Nasrollahi: I love your point of view!

اون چیزی که واسه من جالب بود نقش اون قالی زیر این دو تا موجود بی حس هست هرچند کلا اثر قالیه خیلی محوه اما کل ملاحت این عکس به اونه . . .برای صحت مدعا، زمینه رو کلا سفید کن ببین که چه می شود

Hamed Saber says:

@mohsen sharifani: محسن جون دادا، اگه عکاس خودش قبل از عکاسی ندونه داره چه میکنه که بهتره بره بوق بزنه
واسه اینکه زمینه کلاً این قالی زیبای دستباف کاشان باشه، زیر قالی پشت هارد و باتری یه کیف گذاشتم که قالی بیاد بالا و چیزی به جز او توی کادر نباشه

Incredible. Those drives are getting smaller and smaller. Nice shot with the battery to give a better idea of the size.
