I am lucky enough to have salvaged an old 70 gb raid 5 box. I know, old aye?
All my mpegs are robocopied daily to the raid.
Robocopy and raids are good.
I know what you mean about morons and email.
I instructed all of my users about where to store documents.
I have beat it into their heads.
Did they listen? No.
Because of all of the Digital Predators out there, I decided to block all DOC
and XLS files as well as the LIST of extensions to block. I think it was
Blackstone's list. Anyway, the previous version of trend would only snag
incoming as well as outgoing Attachments. But the new version must have an
undocumented "feature" as it cleansed the entire store. and dropped approx
12000 files into the alert directory.
Then I got the cattle eyed look when I tell them what happened and why they
should have been storing the docs when they arrived.
THe damage control has been minimal though. THank god.

I guess that would pretty much bugger up the warrenty though, as the HD is
still covered. But then there is my 3 year music collection on it, which to me
is worth more that the HD.

Even better: take it out, wrap it tight in plastic (ziploc freezer bag works
well) and put in a deep-freeze freezer over night.
In the morning, prep a machine with the side off and a backup-destination
hard drive. Remove the drive from the freezer, unwrap it, and plug it in
immediately. Power up that computer.
7 out of ten times it allows you to read the data one more time. But only
once, so have another drive in the machine to copy to... Once you shut it
down, it is toast.
I kid you not.

Don't give up that easily on this. Take that drive out of the case, power
up with it connected and smack the crap out of it. Maybe it just has a
touch of stiction, and you can get it spun up long enough to move your
irreplaceable data.
WTH, you have nothing to lose at this point!
