I'm sticking with proven 1GB and 2GB drives for the moment. Locking the barn door after the horse is stolen is always an epiphany moment. The answer is to not trust just one storage device and one copy of your data. But for any of them a big clue is when they show up on for a real bargain price! But these new 3 & 4 & 6! TB drives are a lot of eggs in one basket using state of the art, "atom notching" level of technology where just the ittsyist thing out of whack and the house of cards collapses. Right now I'm on a hate bender with Western Digital. They all have issues now and then with various models made on bad days/weeks/months. Right now I'm looking at the 5 year warranty on my 500GB Western Digital Velociraptor running out in a couple of months. And it's rated for 550TB workload per year. WD expects you to run that drive 24/7 for the entire 5 year warranty. Now if reliability is your need, then I would reccomend getting Western Digital Gold Enterprise Class Drive. For my laptops I use exclusively Seagates in my laptops for 2TB storage drives. Ever since the early 2000's when they bought Maxtor, their quality has gone up exponentialy (not sure how it worked out though as both companies had bad track records before that). I wouldn't stop buying Seagate just because of one drive. So does anyone know if RTDNA content is being added to DAZ? (and if I remmeber correctly at least with Western Digital the recovery cost includes the purchase price of a HDD to recover the data onto.) (They should be able to recover just about anything short of the platters being cracked from excessive trauma, or a powerfull magnetic data wipe. You should probably contact the drive manufacturer and see how much thet charge for data recovery.
