| No matter what drive you have it's always better to back up ur data.
Most peeps I know have two drives connected & just tranfer or do a full back up
to the spare drive.
If not just save ur important stuff to a CDR (Just incase)
I've heard tons of noisy drives that still carry on for ages but always air on the side on caution.
Anyways it's a good habit to back up data on a regular basis.
If you don't then it's a lesson hard learned. Founder of stupidity |
