    Oh for fuck sake yes.

    Physical hard drives *usually* when they're on their way out you'll notice your computer fucking up sometimes but you can *usually* get most of your data off before total failure in case there is some files that have missed your current backup schedule.

    SSD drives when they fail they pretty much fucking fail. Your machine will freeze, you'll reboot and it wont see a drive anymore, everything will be gone and no chance of recovery at all.

    Furthermore what sort of fucking question is "do I need backups" anyway, in 2014... when a 2TB drive costs less than $100.
