IBM deathstar[0] drives in a collection of RS6000's is still too fresh in my memory :-)

Lost the first five years of my source code thanks to a Deathstar. Still miffed about it, would have enjoyed looking back at it from time to time.

Learned a valuable lesson in backups though...

Same, that was also my lesson that RAID is an availability mechanism, not a data safety/backup one. (Of course, Ransomware would also hammer that point home for many later on)
