BAD BAD BAD NEW.
TODAY when I plugged in my External HDD,
the computer did not recognise it.
tried several times and on diff computers.
NO Luck,
When I held it to my ear, I could hear some sound being repeated again and again.
Spoke to a HDD repair guy, who said that from the sound I am hearing, the HDD is gone,
and to recover the data from a 4TB drive can cost lakhs.
So looks like this is the end of this travelogue,
and when some amazing locations were yet to be posted.
I am still hoping that I have not deleted all images form my many memory cards, and from the memory card of the Sony Video Camera. So lets see. I have to locate the baggage in which which the memory cards are located, as I am moving permanently from Delhi to Pune, and right now the new appt in Pune is being renovated, so it may take me a month before unpacking starts and I can find the two wallets for memory card storage.
Fingers Crossed.
One advise, as given to me now, never buy a HDD more than 1 TB, as I believe these are less likely to fail.
Also I have been advised to switch over to CLOUD, which I have no idea what is it.
