My only thought is how do you keep one of these backed up? You would have to buy two of them and keep the second for and offline backup.

It's funny that Seagate's 5 year warranty is their best selling point still, at least for me :P I keep thinking about buying other similar products and then the warranty outweighs other features for me most of the time... good move.

Man, talk about your classic "all your eggs in one basket" conundrum.

Here's where I solicit everybody's stories about their first hard drive purchase a million (internet) years ago. Mine was a 20 megabyte drive I bought used for 400 bucks for my Atari 400, back in about 1981.

That's 20 bucks per megabyte. Now you can buy a drive for 30 cents per gigabyte. Can you imagine if CPUs had progressed at the same rate? Moore would be dumbfounded.

I love to reminisce about nostalgia.
