[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1335091, member: 10619"] If you're choosing to go away from RAID or network storage and are set on external hard drives... I have several 500GB WD MyPassport drives that I use constantly for several different purposes (1 boot drive, 1 tool drive, 1 PS3 media storage, and 2 others for random personal uses (mp3s, images, documents)) and all of them have treated me right. A couple of them are about 2 years old. My newest one is even smaller than the older generation models, which were small enough already. They're small and easily transportable, don't require much formatting or technical know-how (except the boot drive), and have no need for their own external power source. I've got one blank one that I think I'm going to take the most important stuff from each drive and back up to those, in case of any failures, but so far all are good to go. [/QUOTE]
