Great morning looking out at Ranier.  Enjoy!

A few months ago our personal hard drive crashed that had most of our photos from our trip.  $1,700 later and we should have them back in a few days.  At the repair price, I could have bought 3 or 4 super-fast SSDs and 3 or 4 backups to them.

PROSUMER TIP: never ever buy the old-fashioned HDDs; sure, you save a bunch of money up front, but if something goes wrong, you will regret it bigly.
PRO TIP: only buy SSDs and have a backup SSD for all files; in the long run, you will save money.
ONE MORE TIP: repair and recovery services charge by the size of the drive, not how much data is on it; so it may be best to have multiple smaller drives rather than 1 larger drive.  But seriously, just back everything up.
