While I don't store info that often, I do however collect and keep certain files and some from way pack in 1997 all the way to present. Currently I probably have about 1TB of information.
As for DVDs, because I only try to play safe, they are all Taiyo Yuden and Verbatims and in DVD specific jewel/plastic cases. Thus this takes a lot of physical space in my room, which is why I am planning on using those 1TB harddrives instead of having to deal with over 200 discs as well as trying to wait out until SSDs (solid state) becomes cheaper and bigger.
Does anyone find that using more than one hard drives and having duplicate data on each drive reliable? If I have 2 harddrives with duplicate data, is there a chance that both will go out at pretty much the same time?
