The only issue I'm encountering is that many fail to realise that inside are the same hard disks that we use for the other computers. As such, the same failures will occur there.
Point? Where do you backup what you can't lose?

Hi Everybody,
I need a new external storage device and I need it to have firewire and usb 2 on it. Because I wanted 1 TB, originally I was looking at NAS solutions (like Buffalo Terastation and Infrant etc), but I think I'll have to forego that because I can't find anything out there that has a firewire port on it...plus I don't really need it to connect to the router.
So what I'm thinking now is that I'll just get a 500 GB Western Digital My Book, because I'm under the impression that WD and Seagate make the best drives out there, and I didn't see a 500 GB Seagate external drive. And if I want 1 TB later, I'll just daisy chain another My Book. That is possible right? I read that the Lacie Brick is sturdier, but I rarely take the drive I have now places, and the Lacie didn't seem to have FW on it. Also the Maxtor was mentioned in the same article, but from what I understand Maxtors aren't that great and it also requires a fan, which I'd like to avoid if possible.
I'd consider one of the new 1 TB external drives, but because they use RAID 0, if one of the drives fails they both fail...and I'm not dealing with that.
Anyway, please let me know what you think!
