Yeah, I *thought* that I had learned that lesson. I was redistributing
materials on my various hard drives so that I could organize like with like.
In the middle of this, when the flash drive failed, followed by the source on
this hard disk, I was caught without a backup.

Sage advice. Advice I follow with redundancy.
I back up important stuff to a "backups" directory, then /home to another
internal drive, which is raided with another. Then to 2 external drives.
I also make DVD backups.
I lost data once, about 22 years ago. I had to start from scratch. Never
again.

With these new SSD drives, though, I am in
uncharted territory. I
passed on a much cheaper Samsung, but eventually got a WD 1 TB SSD,
which so far (fingers crossed) has performed like a champion.
if it matters, use them always in pairs (raid) otherwise backup, cause
there are no spinning disks inside that you can extract and recover.
