I downloaded a virus and it made 60% of my video projects unplayable. I was 10 and had a DV camera + loved Windows Movie Maker. I still remember my computer just going black the second I double clicked that .exe. My uncle had to get it back to life but I never knew it could break the hard drive like that. I still don’t understand that incident, but it was the last time I risked it all for a weird .exe.
Started when I was 14 and lost my first important drive, a 320GB seagate.
It’s almost always Seagate :p
My first big loss was also a 120GB Seagate drive back in 2004/2005.
My origin story is similar but with a 20gb drive
