I have a 1TB G-tech at my office. Rock solid. Holds all my pre-2010 digital 
files. Locally all pre-2010 files are on a Drobo.
Current files are on my laptop backed up to a Time Capsule and 1x per month 
backed up to a 320MB G-tech also kept at my office.
I'm always afraid this isn't enough, but did a lot of thinking before 
developing this backup model.
Just in case it helps anyone...

I love my Seagate drives.  I have about 10 of them, from the tiny 320GB Go
drives to 1.5T hard drives.  A couple of them have had problems with the
power cord, but Seagate replaced the cords and they just keep working.
