Re: Help with external hard drives for my iMac.
That's a good point, and the reason why I have two 1TB drives. I have my important data copied onto both drives, and then one drive has DVD rips (which are replacable by re-ripping) and less important stuff, and the other drive has EyeTV recordings and other files which aren't that important.

This covers me if one drive fails, but if both fail then I have my most important stuff (uni work and photos) on an 80GB drive at home (currently at uni).
