I just found this course, and it is packed with a lot of great information. Thank you. How long does it typically take a hard drive to die? I have one of those memory backup programs on my computer. When it says it is backing up my memory, what is it doing? Do I still need to be storing my data in some other kind of drive other than the hard drive?
