One more thing to considernis off site archives as well. Have a friend store your old drives and you store old drives for a friend. That way you have backups physically in another location in case of a disaster. -Lan www.LanBui.com (Sent from my iPhone)

Also, it's important to consider the type of storage. If you live in a major western city, you'd be crazy not to also backup onto optical disks and bury them at 4-5 feet, so that your data can survive the electromagnetic pulse that follows a nuclear explosion. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv

I've had 3 Lacie power supplies fail (overheated I think) but not the actual drive mechanism itself. I just ordered replacement power supplies. Oh, these Lacie's run all the time, tons of read/writes, and they've done fairly well. Pete David Terranova wrote: I vaguely remember a similar

Argh. My kingdom for the perfect harddrive. I had had no problem with Lacie¹s until this 1TB beast. It hasn¹t died, but crashes my Finder all the time. Google searches showed that Lacie¹s cause many crashes. Not good. I keep it off till I do a major backup, then turn it off immediately after. I

Yeah, hard drives. Over the years I've lost a pretty good amount of things. A couple of weeks ago I had FCP just randomly freeze while capturing video and it messed my drive up. I had to use the special scavenge mode in Disk Warrior to fix it. So now I have a NewerTech mirrored raid so everything

I use a MacBook Pro for all of my editing. But I'll soon be upgrading to a MacPro tower. My MBP is a couple of years old but still reliably handles Final Cut Pro and my HD footage. It's not the fastest of the bunch, but it does its job. A brand new MBP should be fine, so long as you don't need to
