Ergh. It rained really hard Sunday night, and Monday the power blinked off in my neighborhood just for a second or so — which was apparently enough to kill an external 1Tb drive I was using as an image backup for my main boot drive. Just found out when I noticed it wasn’t showing on the desktop.

When I power up the drive it makes the dreaded clicking sound of doom. Just to make sure I’ll take it out of the enclosure and try it in a dock, but it looks fried.

1TB drives are getting so cheap it’s no big deal, just a reminder to plug the external drives and my RAID array into my battery backup.
