Comment on Our Server’s Hard Drive is Dead. We didn’t have a backup.parent

Well, I went with the buy one drive a month from each of my vendors for my RAID.

Use them, but take some precautions. Do real backups and test the backup to make sure it will actually restore. Replace blown drives very quickly. I had a group of C4 SSDs that tanked within 24 hours of each other. I was not amused and thus learned what I need to do in the future.
