  Here goes my story: Couple of years back, I have been relying on an old external hdd (brand shall not be revealed) to backup my mac for a couple of years. Suddenly one day of attempting to backup via time machine, the hdd cannot be recognised by my mac, i was shocked and horrified! All 1TB of data cannot be retrieved nor read! I asked around how much will data recovery costs and I have to say: ITS EXPENSIVE. Fast forward today, i rely on NAS to do my synching backups and so far (touch wood); my data are all safe.
