External Hard Drive Backup?

Yep, Hard drives go down with little or no warning. It happened to me last week and it wasn't pretty. 400GB of work gone. :icon_cursing:

So from now on it's two hard drives and DVD backups of everything.

On a side note, the Verbatim drive that I bought to replace the Iomega piece of shit that went down also didn't work. Read errors galore. Apparently, Snow Leopard has broken the Mac's ability to talk to external hard drives properly, which probably was the start of the problems with the Iomega drive. Which is nice.

A Drobo is just a box which holds the hard drives.. a Chassis...
It is over priced ....have a raided hdd and save the money...
A good back up program will also notify you if the back-up has failed..

Retrospect is probably your best bet.

Time Machine that now ships with Mac is pretty hassle-free too.
