HARD drive???

A couple of weeks ago, i was blessed with the gift of an external hard drive. ohYeah! Not internal Hard Drive but EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE! 250 gigabytes of free space, how good is that? Now i can freely save and save and save any files with no worries of space. This gadget is very very special to me that i decided to name it Chazz. My inspiration for the name is Will Ferrell's character, Chazz Michael Michaels from the Movie Blades of Glory.
Obviously, i was going crazy with my downloads. Then after a couple of weeks, my INTERNAL HARD DRIVE CRASHED!!! Woah! Thankfully, I've transferred most of my important files to Chazz already. But then it occurred to me, probably Chazz is somehow also a blessing in disguise for me because if not for him, then all my important files would have been gone forever.
I just don't get the reason why computers crash, or why hard drives crash?? In a blink of an eye, files, and more importantly, a part of life can just vanish into thin air and be nothing but a vivid memory left in us.
So despite having saved my important files, this thought stumbled upon my mind... A hard drive may be called THE HARD DRIVE of the computer, but perhaps the HARD DRIVE is the softest component of the computer afterall... :P
