My (mid 2011) MacBook Aor’sAir’s been working perfectly fine, but today decided to 1) crash 2) throw me the “startup disk not found” error.

enter image description here enter image description here

I know it’s an old computer, but still I run disk verification in Disk Utility decently regulrlyregularly, &and in Recovery mode it doesn’t indicate any issues with the hardware. Somehow the data volume’s become corrupted.

I plan to find a hard drive, make a disk image from the volume & then reinstall. 

Is there anything else I can do? Or or any way to check whether this will happen again? 

Do I need a new computer?

Thanks.
