If only there were a way to save the data before the drive blows up.

There is, it’s called a spare external disk drive...

I have a couple of 2TB portable drives, I used them to back up my old laptop and kept everything I didn’t want to lose on there....

Monitor the drive, as it fills up, get another and keep going....

Bottom line, monitor your storage, don’t install applications on a whim, actually need the app before installing and got thru from time to time and remove apps you haven’t used in a while....

Assuming this is a real issue, pay attention to your devices and you want have a problem..

Sometimes, people with limited tech knowledge can read something and panic.

Get a spare auxiliary hard drive. Toshiba makes small ones which are about the size of a cell phone and easily plug in to your computer via a cable and have a large amount of storage space. They have them in the range of several tera-bites. Just a thought in case you want to back up our data.

Long ago I took a SCSI programming course for work. The instructor asked the question, “When to you back up your hard drive.” The room was silent for a while and then he answered his own question with, “Every day after a crash.”

This reads as though it was originally written in a language other than English.

Or perhaps the poster is having some sort of medical issue.
