I've had at least two crashes where I'm still able to use the disk, but lost a lot of data. For example, when bringing the system back after a crash it stops at a prompt telling me to run fsck. I've tried different ways of recovering, including running fsck on unmounted drives or running koppix and then running fsck. In any case having a backup would be nice. > But for the rest, it seems a pretty expensive thing to do (most of us > feel we don't have enough disk space for our videos) on the videos > that probably are going to be watched and then deleted thereafter. > $30 (after rebates of course) for 160 gig doesn't seem that expensive. Good old day after Thanksgiving sales. Stick a couple in a low end PC you have laying around and you have a lot of network storage. I don't think it's an unreasonable cost.
