At local stores, the maximum there selling are 400GB hard drive which is too smal for my needs and I don't really feel like getting an extra 3 hard drives.... what over 1,000GB external drive you've got and you're happy with?

I have a two 500 gig ata 2 hard drives I don't need. Brand new just never used them for what they bought for.
I got them from newegg
You can get case enclosures and run them externally which is much better then those pre-cased external hard drives.Like the desert needs the rain

We run 8 x1000 gig Lacies at work + we have a couple of 1.6 terabtye lacies too. Get Firewire 800 if you get one its amazingly fast, faster than a normal harddrive
They kickass

I already had the Lacies. Buying the Terastation meant i could plug all the Lacies into the Terastation so they all run off the network without needing to be plugged in to PC's. That whole stack plugs in to a switch with one network cable.Originally posted by Alex from MontrealComment

Now a days hot swappable is so easy. If it's not mission critical just set up like 4 to 5 750 gig hard drives from newegg.com
You should be covered for a decade.Like the desert needs the rain

Hehe, good luck with that. When pruning twenty or so old hard drives I had six dead drives... all six were Maxtor brand. The other 14 drives were WD and Seagate, not a one was dead. In the past I've had one or two die from each major brand and the only drives that came close to the shittiness of maxtor were IBM's before Hitachi took over their HD dev. After 2003, the Hitachi drives have been great and I have not had a single one die yet even though I put them all to the same stress as the rest.

A few Infortrend RAID systems. Not the best thing money can buy, but they do ok and are not that expensive, if you're looking for a couple TB of storage.

Don't forget that the terabyte drives are two physical drives striped into one logical drive, which means that the chance of failure is higher. If one drive goes then all of your data is lost.
One maxtor = worried
Two maxtors with total loss if one fails = very worried!Comment
-
now your talking about alot of personal storage!
Comment

Yep, but most of the consumer drives are just two drives that are striped with some 'dumb' logic to direct reads and writes to the appropriate drive. If one drive fails then you lose all of your data as it is neatly split between the two drives. RAID5 requires more processing power, and at least three drives.Comment
-
in doing big servers, nothing beats raid 1+0... raid 5 even scares me cause you can get bad sectors very easily during the split and rebuilding of the new drive you put in.Comment
-
No problem. I wonder if a raid5 could be done thru external drives! Mayby with some kind of cascading!Comment
