Damn, I just had another Hard drive crash and burn. That's One computer and my
two 'oldest' WD hard drives in two months. I will never buy another WD drive
again. Period.
What I lost was my 'daily' time machine backups this time. I had already just
added a second new HD to the time machine setu
I have a 2TB WD drive, and so far that's going well. It's my Time Machine
drive, and has a backup of several older drives that have died. I may get
another one, to have a complete clone of the first one. Hopefully my luck will
hold out.
Have you thought about SSD drives? I have a 750 GB one in
Colin, I have the fusion hybrid drive right now that is both an SSD and
traditional drive in my new 27" iMac. Very very fast. As prices come down I
plan on looking into some kind of external drive that is straight SSD.

The problem with pure SSDs is that they have a limited write-cycle lifetime.
They're great for storing files (lots of rea

Mark,
Just purchased two 512 Go SSD drives to replace the HDs of my MBPs while one of
them went slowing down dramatically over the 15 last days. In reading your
post, it seems that my two 2 TB LaCie TimeMachine backUp drives won't become
less important than before…
Will let know there what the

Not sure what your point is here. Did you read this? The comments in particular
are very instructive.
Example:

1. I've been warning people for years about WD drives. The worst. After
being burned a few times, by 2004 I've insisted on Seagate and have had one
fail out of 20. The MTBFs of the new generation of dense drives are nothing
short of amazing. And I run my drives HARD with video and audio work.

WD had a problem with their one gig drives. Apple had to invoke a recall
program for them because they put them into iMacs among other things, and the
drives went bad typically before the warranty period was up, but many times
just after. I also noticed they get hot. VERY hot. Too hot to hold if
Love CCC. It will backup the entire hard drive as an exact duplicate, then you
can schedule backups that only update the altered files. Why this approach?
Because assuming both drives are the same form factor, you can simply replace
the defective drive with the backup drive and be up and running
It won't. Remember the words of the prophet Murphy.

I think it depends on the usage. It also depends on your expectation for a
classic drive with no SSD. Most recommend replacing a mission critical drive
after 3 years whether or not you need to. Given that, an SSD drive may, with an
adequate backup and recovery strategy, be a very good solution f
It's true about write limits in SSD, but don't wzory about the data.
After go to the limit of writes you are still bale to read your data.

$4 /month seems very reasonable to me. I'm thinking of checking into that.
