> My colleague Vjeran just lost 3TB of video we’d shot for The Verge because the drive is no longer readable.

If they have a backup they wouldn't have lost anything. Data is only lost when you no long have access to the last copy.

The article should have just kept to the repeated hardware failure, and not waffled on about the lost data.

Thanks for the edit, I was not aware of that either.
