[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]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 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.
