Is there a disk doctor in the house? To protect albums-in-progress from pirates, hip hoppers have taken to toting their music from studio to studio on portable hard drives. Over the summer, Roc-a-Fella's Juelz Santana was distressed to learn that his 200-Gbyte drive, which contained all the ProTools files for his new CD, What the Game's Been Missing, was kaput. The problem? For more than a year, Juelz had kept his machine on 24 hours a day, causing it to overheat. "There's no way I would have remembered all those rhymes," said the rapper, who hadn't backed up his files in eight months. It took $10,000 and two weeks for a repair shop to salvage the recording. Like data storage, rap bravado has limits. "If it didn't work, I woulda cried," Santana said. "No, seriously. I woulda cried."

Ya got that right.
I'm not surprised that he said he would cry.
Who keeps there computer on 24 hours a day for an entire year? (retorical question). More people then I think probably.
At least turn it off 2 or 3 times a year.

i dont think so, as long as you periodically restart it, i keep my shit on 24 7 and restart every couple days

He probably bought some iced out alienware special limited edition rapper pc that had some bullshit parts, a shitty powersupply and other shit ass components.

It's better to keep your computer on long times, don't close it all the time. In Juelz cas damn, mustve been a 24/7 studio and if your running pro tools on it all the time the computer is doing intense work. I bet it was a mac :laugh:
