500gb drive... poof... gone
From everything I've read it is a problem that requires opening the drive up, and it wouldn't be worth the cost to have the drive repaired or data recovered. Sending it in to the company would probably be a waste because even if they honor the warranty, which they probably won't, they would just send a new drive and my data is still gone. That would also take up too much time, which I don't have since I leave for Japan on Thursday.
Luckily there aren't any irreplaceable things like pictures on it, but it was close to being filled with movies and TV shows I've been collecting. Mainly collecting to watch while I'm in Japan.
