Personal Storage Options?

[Shaf]

I'm looking at consolidating some really old HDDs that i have and move to a more robust and reliable storage solution. I currently have the following IDE drives:

2 x 60GB
2 x 250GB
1 x 20GB
1 x 40GB

I need approx 1TB of storage and if possible some RAID config so that i don't have to back it up. The data on it will mainly be photos and dvd backups so it's data that i don't want to lose.

Thanks!

If you have a Costco membership, get the WD 1TB external HD for $399.
You can set this hard drive up to allow you are other users to access your HD from any computer (like an FTP server).

Thanks. I do have a costco membership and will check it out. What about backups? How would i protect the data?

The HD, like most external ones, have a push button feature to backup certain folders or drives on your computer. All you need to do is install the software and set the backup parameters.

Two 750 GB in RAID 1 plus another 250 GB by itself.

Thanks. I meant backing up the external drive.. not my machine.

Is this a good deal? HP Media Vault mv2010 for $150 (employee pricing)
