It doesn't really matter which you buy. Sure, some brands may be more likely to fail than others, but the relative reliability of brands will change from one month to the next.
There's an old saying: -"There are two types of people: those who do regular backups, and those who have never had a hard drive failure"-. Guess which one I am!? ;-) All irreplacable data is backed up nightly to 'rsync.net' by -cron-. (I thoroughly recommend 'rsync.net', by the way!) The hundred-or-so gigs of flacs (when they've all been ripped) will be rsync'd to a spare drive via USB every month or so. (Of course, Sod's Law says decrees that I haven't had a failure in ten years, since I started preforming backups religiously!) -- mflint ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mflint's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2102 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31321 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
