Downtime For Me - Sorry
Chris:
Back up that drive first thing while you can still read it! I just had this happen to me and I could read the drive for a few days after the crash, then I lost it completely.
SirPeale:
A backup is foremost on my mind, but I have to get another drive to do that.
I hate forced upgrades.

SteveJ34:
With my hard luck in recent years with IDE hard drives combined with the lower cost of these units, all desktop machines we have placed in my business office combined with my home office boxes have been built with IDE Raid enabled ASUS motherboards or FastTrak controllers with (2) drives mirrored.
Of course, all our servers have always had boot drives mirrored and RAID 5 arrays for storage.
Not trying to spend the money in your pocket but something to consider seeing as you are being forced to upgrade.
Chris:
I'm probably going to upgrade in February, and I'm thinking of RAIDed SATA drives and using my current 160GB ATA drive to store backups, since my tape backup drive is only 4GB.
