I don't understand why burglars would steal backups. That is just hilarious. Unless they are on your PC.

Your problem isn't my problem. So I won't argue with that either.

I KNOW. I simply don't want my personal data stored in a public cloud environment. For work, I don't care. I have my personal cloud space (NAS) that I can access from any device.

I personally don't use Onedrive on any of my personal computers. But Onedrive is a lifesaver in an enterptise environment. You can replace your work laptop everyday without having to worry about your work files.

Not true. Plenty of services can use well over 500 Mbps — Steam, PlayStation downloads, torrent clients, OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive, and others — especially when raw download speed actually matters.

3Gbps FTTH

I have 64 devices connected to my home network. :-) 3Gbps FTTH home network.

Of course fiber is always better specially if FTTH is available in your address. T-Mobile also has fiber I think (T-Fiber) but you have to check availability in your area.

If it is an old desktop, then your network adapter is probably bottlenecking your internet speed.

Congrats! You made it to my ignore list!

If you say so. :rolleyes: I don't know why you are so interested in arguing with me instead of helping the OP. I have what you have. I am not a 9 yr old. I've been recovering data from dying HDDs for the past decade with my favorite tool MiniTool Power Data Recovery software

SSD as a "storage". Get real. SSDs fail instantly without a warning (like you said) unlike HDDs which often gives symptoms. Data recovery on SSDs is harder if not sometimes, impossible. I don't know how you define "dependable" in this case.

Even Copilot can do that for you.

Just start fresh. Don't pollute your new PC. Just move your files to an external hard drive.

Not necessarily, but a clicking hard drive is a serious warning sign. Who's talking about SSD?
