GOLIATH...
You come from the world of Computers...I need a hard drive to replace the one that just recently failed. However, the more and more I look around the more and more I realize its almost impossible to find a extremely reliable drive. What drive would you recommend. I don't really care too much about speed. Mainly I'm looking for a large amount of storage.

chris, i have a separate hard drive used to back up stuff from my computer etc. after i back something up i unplug it and put it away. i think most failures come from people just keeping the damn thing plugged in all day spinning at 10,000 RPM etc. i have had an iomega extrenal hard drive that i have had for 3 years or so, no issue at all.

something like this. Iomega 1TB External Hard Drive: 1TB Desktop Silver Series: 33748

What Bouncer said is true, but hd's are not made to last very long anymore. 2yrs out of routinely used hd is good (these days). I can't stress enough how important it is to put anything of importance on disc. Hard drives fail, that's a fact so why test the longevity with important data at the risk of losing it all.

it gets hard to put huge amounts of data on discs though. especially when we are talking terabits.

and hell, my old laptop is almost 5 i think, its hard drive is still fine.

Not too many home users have terabits of data to be backed up. In a corporate environment that is true but most home users should be able to backup there data to a couple DVD disks.

I have about 600 gigs worth of media in total. Some of it was on another drive, some of it wasn't. I am thinking RAID 1 with 2 1TB drives, but that would be upwards of $600. I don't even know what I am going to do.

I considered it, but I would need 2 1TB drives. I'm never relying on having my data on one drive EVER again.

NYCmitch25 will become famous soon enough
HD's suck. Use striping - RAID5 (n + 1) is best or RAID1 (mirroring) array. RAID5 redundancy out of 2TB about 1.6 usable, RAID1 lose 1/2.

If you want to get serious about it get a Buffalo NAS drive- 2TB = $299 to $1100 list I would get a Gigbyte ethernert

Dumbass, I would share shit out bro you wil have the RIA.A/M,PAA coming after you.

I don't share media. I just find it, and leach. I also copy my DVD's to computer and my friends and I have a tendency to have external HD's...just for that instance.

As far as the Raid set up...I'm already using RAID 0 for my primary drive. I think my onboard controller can only do Raid 0+1. I don't know if I really feel like buying another controller. A lot of people are saying I should consider a newtork drive.
