First 3TB HDDs released

[Demon Cleaner]

For me, I don't consider an external hard drive as a safe method of backup if used alone.

I meant internal, as I have an USB3 enclosure which I can use with internal disks. And I intend to not back up some stuff, as it's not so crucial to me, and it will probably never be updated. But that's basically all my BIG sets like Dreamcast, Saturn, CD-i, Sega CD, 3DO...

And as Harrison said, the bigger the drive the more you lose.

I mentioned that, and that's also my biggest concern about too big disks.

Of course you may have two hard drives containing the same data (mirrored backup) which helps a lot. In fact, it's probably essential.

There's stuff I wouldn't need to have a backup, just want it to be stored on safest possible media. The problem with BD discs would only be that some of my stuff is between 100-200GB, so I would have to restructure it to fit on the disc, whereas if I would use a normal HDD, I could leave it as it is, and I would probably find stuff back easier.

But just imagine having all your pr0n on one single disk, would be perfect and also easier to hide from your girlfriend

Btw, the Pioneer BDR-205 seems to be a great burner too, the Sony you mentioned seems also to be good, although slightly more expensive, and they don't have it yet at the shops I usually order. At my favorite review site, the Pioneer got the first place, and the Sony made it second, so I will go with one of these two.
