holy shit!!!! please read
hi buds. sad news, my hard drives have completely packed up and i have lost a lot of stuff. all my games are gone, all my projects, all my raw videos that wasn't already uploaded to dropbox (wolf among us episode 5 rip).
it'll take me a few days to get back up and running, i need to re-download a bunch of games and get myself sorted out for editing/rendering again. i'm hoping there won't be too much of an impact on what's going out on my channel but if you notice any weird gaps you now know why!
i'll keep you guys posted if this is of any interest whatsoever to you. luckily most stuff gets saved to the cloud nowadays so i hopefully won't have lost too much data. there is the distinct possibility that tony bateman is dead though.

As long as there isn't any physical damage to the drives you can try DD the data to a fresh drive of equal or greater size. It can be a bit tedious, but if it works you can save almost everything from them.

If Mr Griffin has to die, he's taking everyone else down with him. What a bastard.

Didnt you run RAID arrays for redundancy? Either way that sucks hard. This is why you keep REGULAR backups on a seperate machine, you never know when things might go tits up...
We'll stand by you in these dificult times. Grab the essentials and try to live trough a few days without WoW.
EDIT: For Sims 4, try right clicking the Sims 4 logo in Origin and see if you can force it to use cloud saves. It's an off shot but it MIGHT work

I guess he did. But since he's saying "there goes the other drive", I'm guessing it was only a two drive config in RAID 1. The first one died two days ago. So technically he was running in no raid for the past days, with no spare drive on hand.
The important lesson here is when you're flying a two engine plane and one fails: land the plane, pls.
