So my hard drive just failed - mechanically, and I don't have $700 to recover data. Anyone know where to get cheap harddrives, preferably 2 500 gb ones. Last year I bought a harddrive 1tb for $40 before the flooding in Thailand; now it seems prices have doubled .
Also, what is the opinion regarding refurbished hard drives - I'm thinking that they will tend to have more issues.
