My hard drive just died.
| How did it die and will you be attempting to get it running again long enough to back it up?

Sectors just started dying one after another. There is no recovery, i belive. So, I'll probably just go get a new one.
| That's so sad.
PS: Woah, only numbers in id

Thi hard drive was serving me for 6 years now. It's no wonder, why it died.
P.S. I'm a Linux user
| I hear Spinrite is very effective in data recovery. It's a paid program though.
Or you can try your hand with testdisk and photorec, which are FOSS.

| Fun fact:
Backups are great but a lot of the time even to a enthusist not worth the effort
| Guys I have my entire life in a 7 year-old HDD and I have no money to buy another one. I keep panicking because of that since I can't backup everything.

How big is it? HDDs are cheap now. You can even get a decent SSD for like 32€. Western Digital Green but still, it's barely any money at all.
