It looks like my new 1.5 TB disk drive may be damaged beyond repair. It was the primary storage for images form my most recent trips, and on the road I rarely have access to three power plugs for several hours to perform the backups that I should have been performing, so I may have lost months of work, including the first 9 days of my current trip to national parks with my kids.
I was just about to back it up…
I’ll try a data recover service when I determine which ones are most likely to be able to work on physically damaged drives, but the drive was dropped, so it’s most likely damaged beyond repair.
I’ll only know the extent of the loss when I swing back by Northern California and see what data I have on my next most recent backup drive (I have another 1TB with me, but it contains mostly older files up to 2007).
Don’t assume that you can back up your files tomorrow or on your next stop in a trip. They could be lost if you don’t duplicate them immediately.
