HDDs are WAY cheaper than PSVR will be. You won't have to blow your entire savings.
yups, there will be a lot left but it put a huge dent in my saving, and it will take a while to get the money again, considering im currently jobless
but im already so scared right now. gonna prioritize HDD
This. Is the HDD really only 200 MB, or did you mean 200 GB? 200 MB is nothing storage.
The 2TB Hitachi hdd contains precious data since eons ago, data that originally from 200 MB HDD.
Basically, I never really throw away my computer. It's always getting replaced parts by parts. With the windows keeps getting upgraded. Data transfered to new hdd. And so on.

Oh, hang on. The 2TB HDD is dying. Backing up the 200 MB data isn't a problem (you should have it on a USB flash drive, burnt to CD, backed up on DVD, and copied to your phone by now. Plus a .zip held in the cloud). The expense of the 2TB HDD is.
At 2TB it surely isn't that old. Can't you get a replacement under warranty? HDD's typically have 3 years, right?

I expect what he means is that the data on the drive includes data originally stored on a 200MB drive, not that that is the only data on the drive or that that is the only data that is important.
Yes, I appreciate that. He has >200 MBs of data, including 200 MBs of old data. That data shouldn't be at risk though. If that 200 MBs is that important, why isn't it duplicated elsewhere? It's throw-away storage. So right now, if he's fearing loss of that data, back it up onto any and every medium available! Upload it, copy to USB, duplicate on phone, etc. Then he'll have peace of mind while solving the HDD problem.
Not to mention he has another 3 HDDs he can copy that data onto!

I think the implication is that all of the data on the 2 TB drive is of equal importance. The 200 MB just denotes that some of the data is REALLY old. However, the 2 TB drive contains data from multiple HDD upgrades over the years with important data accumulating over that period.
I do something similar, however, I include redundant backups for anything important. And anything important also is on mirrored drives so I have multiple levels of redundancy.
His 2 TB drive includes a Molex connector, so it's likely the drive is greater than 8 years old by now. So way out of the warranty period.
