> Both hard disks fried at the same time. I'm sorry for your family pictures: it's the one personal thing I've got copies of everywhere (online / offline / on-site / off-site). But...

I like to use different brands or, at the very least, different models from the same brand. Now I'm not saying it's what happened in our case: if they literally fried, then it's another problem.
