Since my hard drive was failing on my laptop I purchased a new drive. To migrate from the failing drive to a new drive was very easy with Macrium Reflecthttp://www.macrium.com/. This is not an ad for them, but the software works great. You just run the image creation while in Windows, save the image to a USB drive or the network. Then add the new drive, boot from the pre-configured CD and presto you have a new drive and all your old data.

My laptop hard drive decided to start acting up yesterday. Before it formally crashed (I’m not counting the 6 times where it just clicked and stopped working) I decided to make an image of it.
After I validated the image I went out and purchased a new internal SATA laptop drive. My new WD Black series is 350GIG, 7200RPM. It’s amazing that when I went to the store I did not realize it has been near 10 years since I last purchased a drive. I did not know who was on top Seagate or WD.
Just to be safe I also upgraded my desktop’s hard drive. My new desktop drive is 1 terabyte. It’s amazing that for 200 dollars I can get 1.3 terabytes of data storage.

I am a huge fan of Mozy (Mozy.com). They offer free and paid backup solutions online. I use their services on every computer I have.
Recently they announced that they have over 15 petabytes worth of data. What is a petabyte you say? Well, it is a lot of data. Mozy has a fantastic article describing how much data that is. Check it out.
