How Much Are You Willing to Pay for Lost Photos?

Sibling in tire swing

Photos are important, that’s something we can all safely agree on. Yet we can also agree that technology like cars, appliances or smartphones can fail – even your hard drive. And it never happens at a good time.

Human error accounts for 29% of all data loss.

As anyone who’s taken their car to the shop, or has stood in the phone store with a cracked phone screen can attest, repairs can be pricy. Now imagine it’s that family photo from Disney World, that chance encounter with your favorite TV personality or the 9th birthday party of your twins where you got them the video game system they’d been begging for – in essence, something irreplaceable.

If you haven’t winced at the thought of losing these precious memories, then you may want to check for a pulse. It’s painful. It’s frustrating. It’s priceless.

How much does priceless really cost, anyway? The Seagate Recovery Services team created this humorous infographic outlining The Cost of Priceless. It perfectly emphasizes how important it is to have a Rescue Plan should something go wrong with your hard drive. You can see the full infographic by clicking on the image, but here’s a taste:
