We hear a lot about tech failing, but I guess we never think it will happen to us. That is exactly what happened to my portable hard drive the other day. I used the hard drive mainly for storing footage and large files and projects that I’m currently working on when working on my laptop.

Unfortunately, as you can probably tell from the title, disaster struck and to simply put it the hard drive stopped working. I was hoping that it was just the cable but, after trying multiple USB cables and devices the hard drive didn’t burst back to life.

Luckily, the files and content on the hard drive were well backed up and I was able to resume work from a reasonable point. Of course, it did mean I had to complete a few editing tasks again, but it wasn’t an amount that stopped me in my tracks.

The feeling of being able to recover most of my work felt amazing, especially as I tried new video editing skills I learned after doing an online course.
