Most dropped external hard drives I receive from customers contain data that is not stored anywhere else. The moniker PRO is assumed to not only be top quality but top at saving the day when hits the fan and these machines are no longer that.Losing precious data hurts, especially if a dropped external hard drive contains data that is not backed up.
A chef that finds their knife no longer sharp doesn’t look for the bin and a wholesale knife catalogue to buy a new one, they get a hone, or a stone and in 10 minutes their knife is possibly as good as new.Īpple have chosen this route for us and all to shave a few millimetres and grammes off laptops that Pro’s need to have as functional as possible. A musician wouldn’t put their guitar in the dump because a machine head broke, $10 would get that musician back on stage again. A music producer wouldn’t throw away a 50 channel recording deck because 2 channels failed one day. The ability to respond to unexpected situations damage, moisture, internal failure or design fault is what should set a PRO device apart.įor those suggesting that the moniker PRO doesn’t need to mean ‘repairable’, ‘accessible’, ‘non-complicated’, just consider any other PRO industry who relies hugely on repairability and the ability to get inside their devices / tools / instruments to keep them going as long as possible. If she is using the “PRO” device that apple sells she is out of luck and has to pull an all nighter to redo the work or loose the commission and be out all of the work she has done. (in the macbook pro the SSD is soldered and even if it wasn’t the T2 chip prevents an external computer from reading it). Have them remove the SSD and recover the data.
If she is using a true pro device she could drop by a computer repair place. She could just redo the hours of work she just lost after her last backup (assuming she is someone who backs up religiously), however her deadline is tomorrow morning. She has completed another days worth of work while out and about (the main point of a laptop, portability) someone drops liquid into the unit and it fails. The Pro Graphic Designer is working on a commission that has taken several weeks.
