I was wondering what you guys and gals have been using for storage. I have a 100s of gigs of work and personal stuff that I need to keep on a secure drive. Right now it is spread over my desktop, laptop and on one external drive. I want to keep it safe and be able to access it if one computer goes down. I was thinking of picking up a large external drive, but I don't know how reliable they are. So I was wondering what you guys and gals use and if you had any reconmendations.

Akasa Integral and Icy Box are two of the best. Or take a look at the Sharkoon QuickPort Pro.
Or...... you could build your own NAS.

I've heard good things about true crypt. I would really only encrypt it if it's a portable media type device.
TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux
I haven't really used drive encryption due to the fact that I don't really use portable media.

My storage solution:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...r/default.mspx
1tb (2 500gb drives) with plans to add another 1tb of storage and have that mirror the initial 1tb of space. I've used it at least 4 times in the past year to completely recover drives that I've either replaced or changed to larger capacity drives.Oh if a man tried to take his time on Earth and prove before he died what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world ? - Harry Chapin
