Good to hear you saved everything important. That's what counts.

Western Digital, it's a 1TB Caviar Black WD1001FALS. I think it may have been more of an upwards of 80 GB too.

You're not nearly paranoid enough if you waited for issues to appear to introduce redundancy of your data.

Oh, that's not true at all... I already had the most important things backed up on another hdd and dvd's as well. It just wasn't current, so it would've been a real hassle to get back the stuff I consider non-important (like a bunch of anime I've downloaded and could easily redownload, but it'd pretty much murder my ratio) and the few things I hadn't backed up yet that are important.
It's a lot easier to just clone the hdd. Setting up the OS and all the settings and programs and crap is a real pain.
