Hey Everyone!
I have a question regarding back up solutions. I know this has been covered in the past but I'm at a sort of crossroads as far as expanding my back up options. I presently have three external hard drives, (2) 250Gb and a 120Gb. One 250Gb is for my Graphic Design business and the other 250Gb is for all my music and videos. I'm using the 120Gb as a dedicated back-up for my iMac G4. I'm more concerned with a back up solution for my two external 250Gbs(other than DVD's). I don't know if I should invest in two individual 250Gb drives to mimic the two I have now OR just get a 500Gb for both. The obvious choice is the 500Gb(ease & cost) for both but I've heard that you shouldn't use drives over 250Gb, being that drives in that catagory are constantly doing error correction and it is a greater chance of losing data over time. I'm not sure if this is correct but I thought I'd pose the question and see what would be the healthiest route in this case. Thank you!
