I've neveer had any problems but realize it is tricky. You should think
about purchasing a dvd recorder or a large streamer as a backup device. To
maintain data saftey, you'll need that anyway.

Got plenty of internal and external DVD-RW's, but so much data (I do a lot
of video stuff) that even DVD's would be cumbersome.

Been reading reviews and pricing various network storage devices lately.
Preference is something at least one terabyte.   What I would actually like
to do is to consolidate all the hard drives (all are SCSI U2W, a little
dated now, but still fine) in the "fileservers" into just one tower -- which
has RAID capability with it's onboard SCSI.  All the HDD's are RAID-ready.
I'd like to get the RAID thing going on (lost about 150GB a few weeks ago)
for the "working" data space and then have a very large NAS "dumpster" to
store things more permenetly.

Cheers!
Eric
