Planning to get a Buffalo this coming IT fair. For redundancy i keep a duplicate copy of important files stored on taiyo yuden media in a safe place. Am thinking having a tape drive at home for backup would be overkill.How many of such casings do you want to pile up? Where is the redundancy of one disk dies?
Try something like this: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/network-storage/terastation/terastation-duo/
But of course, this doesn't come for the price of those USB discs. Define the value of your data first, then you know what you need to spend.
Hope you got the newer Seagate model, the original freeagent one for desktop i had went kaput. Opened up the drive and fortunately the hdd and data was okay. Must have been a casing design flaw somewhere.is that 900GB or 500Gb? HAHA! I got a 500GB Free Agent Go by Seagate. I hope it will not break down
I dont recommend placing important data in desktop even if using good pc power supply.1x 80GB for WinXP and stuff.
1x 320GB for Misc storage
1x 500GB for Photo storage
1x 500GB for Video storage
1x 160GB External HDD - backup
1x 1TB External HDD - more backup
1x 250GB 2.5'' Portable HDD.
May be needing another 1TB soon...... :sweat:

Just about everything else is external or back up to dvd.

with abit more storage
What about if the Buffalo kaputed say 2 to 3 years down the road? Will there any exact replacement? If not can the disk be brought over to a new chassis? :think:
