A smaller drive, backups can be compressed. Also, you don't need to backup everything, for example rips of DVDs and CDs you own can be recreated. If you organise your data to separate stuff that needs to be backed up from that which doesn't you can reduce the amount of space needed. Factor in that you won't be filling this drive for a while and that you don't need maximum performance from a backup drive and you'll almost certainly get by with using your old drive(s). Really important stuff should be stored offsite, Amazon S3 gives the best value for me. -- Neil Bothwick Ask a silly person, get a silly answer
