It's the quantity; not the quality. With AI, you can multiply yourself while passing off as someone else and no one's the wiser.

"These days"?
So what was it that Hearst used to do?
Not to mention I wonder where all of the aliens went that the National Enquirer used to find.

My important data is either backed up real-time to Google Drive (free) or MS OneDrive(comes with subscription).
ALL my source code is in Git repos.
I have not used an external drive in years. Thumb-drive, what's that?
Just a thought.

Yes, I do backup some stuff to MS OneDrive, but I am kind of old fashioned about sensitive data. I prefer to keep that under tight control on my machine and external drives. I just cannot get myself to trust external entities like MS with certain data!

Well I don't keep any political documents in Google or Microsoft cloud drives as they have publicly announced that they scan all upload and stored documents for "hate speech", and I might me labeled a terrorist, cancelled, imprisoned, tortured, dismembered, and scattered to the 4 corners of the earth (I added that for the flat-earthers lol).
Other than that, I should be fine.

You've finally given me a use for my safety deposit box! (Out of sight, out of mind).

I have a 9TB Raid5 SSD. It is fast and reliable. It is large enough to do mirror images of my Desktop.
I don't do enough "heavy duty" development that makes speed a major requirement.
It was somewhat expensive to implement but has been rock solid since then.
I have been happy with it ever since.

As I was tightening down the heat spreader plate over my nvmes and then securing 20lbs of aluminum heatsink and one of the cinderblock-sized GPUs of today over the top the idea of something like this crossed my mind like remembering some scene of any random horror movie. Trying to reseat them would be like trying to service the least serviceable auto.
There are disk checkers I think work for SSDs as well as HDs and will flag bits as unusable.
I'm not sure why SSDs would altogether fail after some point of use. That would be fishy if they all did that. Seems more like as the NAND wears thin you'd lose more and more usable capacity over time.

This might not be bad news for your drive.
It is possible for some fixed drives to be removed in Windows (I guess to support hot swappable drives). They will then not be visible to Windows, even through reboots.
Is it possible you accidentally removed that drive?

No. The drive is internal to the machine, plugged directly into the PCI bus using an adapter. It has never been removed in 3 years!

I do a weekly backup of all computers in my home network. The stuff in my development folder is backed up daily. With that setup, I am reasonably certain to lose only less than one day's work.
(Of course, it's always possible that my backup server AND my computer will go south simultaneously... )

When I was actively working, I had 3 computers in my office, with all work automatically copied to all 3. Worked like a champ. When 1 computer glitched, I just moved to another and kept working. Everythin was fine until some hoodlums broke into my office and stole all 3 computers. Fortunately I had just made a complete backup of all 3 on a giant external drive, so life went on once I bought new systemssystems.The worst suffering was to my bank account.
