No, the moral of this story is to have
multiple copies of your files.
I keep all my photos on four hard disks, desktop PC, laptop, NAS and a portable USB hard drive. That way if one disk fails I have three other copies to fall back on.
For other business files that I cannot be without I also add cloud storage to the list. I use a service called Dropbox for off-site storage.
If it were me I would buy two disks to copy your photos to. Work on one and use the other as safe storage.
Oh, and if you think it's a lot of work keeping the copies up to date there is a great free program called PureSync (
