View Single Post - 250 vs. 500 gig HDD

Spire · Rated XXX

I have had about all of them and I think only one 80 gig Hitachi has ever failed me. I off them because they are too small long before they die.

I make sure EVERYTHING that is irreplaceable is backed up to a few different places.

All the pictures I have ever taken are not only on my server (mirror RAID) and a 500 gig portable, but also burned onto 2 sets of DVD's, one stored in the fire rated gun safe at home and one set stored in a safe at work. If this doesn't allow me to at least have a backup when Armageddon or Zombie attack hits, then I didn't need those memories after all.

I spent some time thinking hard about what is REALLY IMPORTANT and IRREPLACEABLE. The only thing that really mattered was pictures and video of my family and the kids growing up.

The rest was considered as a mere inconvenience.
