That's gotta be two drives stripped together.

As much as it sounds like a great idea to have sooooo much storage, I'm always afraid that the bigger the drive the more data loss when it takes a dump. I just got a 400gig Seagate and only after it has been out for a long time.
How do you "back up" data on drives that big, get another drive and run it only for backups?
I would have never even thought of backup just a year ago, that was when my 120gig Family Photo hard drive took a dump and with it a lot of memories. It's a valuable lesson, I must say.

I use RAID 1 for all new drives now. I just buy 2 at a time. If one dies, I can just take it out and throw a new one in and I'm golden. I've had a couple of hard drives crash and it's never fun if you have no backup or RAID action.

I thought exactly the same as the other guy, thats alot of data to lose of the hard drive bites it.
I never used to backup stuff either, but I lost a 200gig hard drive a year ago.. and that was a pain. So I pretty much have 3 hard drives now, and one of them is only to backup my favorite stuff on the first two.
