100GB? :puke:

That's for storing my little sister's fairy tales. :grum:

If it ain't 250GB, no one should even bother:grum:

how much actual DATA do you have then? I can save everything VITAL that I have on 2x 4.7Gb DVDs, one for the [M] site, the other for my personal documents

My data currently exceeds 400GB (250 GB of which is MP3, hardly any videos).

MP3 != VITAL data in my humble opinion

Actually the Mp3 is more than 250GB :o

... but as you tell by me signature I mod games and I have a large library of mods from which to draw inspiration:D

... plus I keep a constantly updated library of all the programs i use or can use when I need them;)

... plus a few ISO images of my Application CDs, because some :rtfm: friends never return things you lent them....

you don't need a HDD for static information like ISO's, MP3 and archive of files; DVD's will do fine for that:)

I know but I can't be bothered to hold my data in 2 formats. Plus i will be moving soon so it is easier to just have an HDD with everything inside.

yes dropping a HDD during a move will be less dramatic then dropping a DVD.. no wait. ;)

j/k btw!!

Dropping a HDD? I wouldn't know how. I worked as a waiter for some years...:D

Today size of HDD = status of PC guru

More Guru = more large size HDD sales

Stripping down all my 30 years of work into text format = > 10Mb of data.

How about a couple of HDD crashes will make most people rethink their collection of "data" :)

I have heard of that nightmare.

Sudden HDD death! :chop:

Has never happened to me. I hope it never does.

Happened to someone I know. He lost 200GB of Mp3, almost went :mad:

What can we do to protect ourselvers oh great, old and wise Guru?:ws:

RAID1 :)

Nah, too immobile for my taste.

Do you think I got 250GB+ MP3 collection by telling people to come over to my house to upload their data?;)

Can you (at least theoretically) achieve RAID 1 with say external SATA disks?
