This being said I have heard several horror stories of these larger size memory drives failing to record memory, losing memory, running very slow, and dying a hard-disk destructive death after about a year (also resulting in loss of memory). However, I have considered getting several smaller drives, which becomes a little of a hassle, as I can't just carry my entire archive around at once, and I then have to label, and know which drive holds what. That being said as few drives as possible is the desirable, while maintaining a long lasting reliability and getting the most for my money. Are there any brands you guys personally recommend spending the extra buck for (whether 1TB, 200 GB or anything in between).
Also is there any technology on the horizon I should be looking toward or wait for rather than rushing to a decision? Yes, I've tried the DVD archiving system, but they get lost, scratched, are a hassle to organize, and only last 5 years before becoming unreadable.
