begin rant.
so, my second Western Digital external hard drive has failed. this is the second one in as many weeks. last week, i freaked minorly because the one that crapped its pants was my backup for all of my Illustrator and Photoshop work for the club. a hassle to replace, surely, but nothing that would be severely missed in the event of catastrophe.
THIS one, however, is my iTunes library.
over 200gb of music.
THIS one is my life, and it is f***ing dying.
even DiskWarrior has nothing to say on the matter - the disk needs a full reformat. so i'm backing it up now.
problem is, i have to do it piecemeal, because individual files have been corrupted and won't copy. so every time i attempt a bulk backup, and OSX runs into a corrupted file it doesn't like, it error -36's me an craps out.
so i'm backing up 200gb, artist by artist, and in some cases album by album, to weed out the corrupted files.
and i want to PUNCH SOMETHING.
end rant.

boom:
maybe you should look into getting a seagate external hard drive. i heard they were good, and i really like mine.

thanks for the tip, matey. i'm ready to stab somebody, i swear.
