I need to go to something permanent & redundant when I can afford it
though I may have to consider a backup solution 1st since availability
is second to not having all may data go *poof*.
Lost a over 150GB due to XP, 1394, & encryption when the dreaded M$
Delayed Write Failure corrupted my external Drivecrypt & Truecrypt
volumes a few months ago. No way to recover them unlike unencrypted data
can be, no complete/recent backups.
DWF is still an issue it seems, so I will not be trusting my encrypted
stuff to external 1394 under XP anymore. Been trying for a year (like
many other people, google it) to figure out why it happens. Just don't
have the $$$ to try combo's of enclosure chipsets & FW cards to solve
the problem. Right now I got the Dell i8200 laptop's FW & 2 Oxford 911
chipset enclosures the both do random DWF's every so often.

I need to build a 1TB+ array sometime soon. Completed ripping my CDs to FLAC
and that takes one 400gig drive (with a little head room for growth) and am
running through my DVDs now. Quickly filling the two 250gig drives I have :(
Looking at an Infrant ReadyNAS NV, very cool :)

5 years ago that was insane for a home user. Now, my 1.5 TB
RAID array is half full.
