Re: Think people
"These people upgraded the firmware on their drives with no RAID and no backup?"
Really?
RAID with SSD is really hard and probably doesn't work the way you think it does, it's also probably bloody stupid due to the way SSDs work. Now SSDs as cache for a RAID spinning rust array is a good idea but that is generally called a SAN and a bit big for a laptop with one or perhaps two HDD slots.
Backups - yes good idea.
I do find it rather sad that many Windows apps insist on installing their own auto updater thingie. Could they not register with MS and have them delivered via the built in Windows Updates mechanism.
Now a HDD needing an auto-updater - WTF!
