Re: [ARSCLIST] external hard drive for a start for archiving audio files



I can't agree on "all" the Seagates. There is a short run that were kind of flakey. I have to get back to the studio but it was one of a certain SN of Barracudas that went down the tubes. Thank goodness we backed up on DVD-ROMs.

Seconds on Seagate. This is always what I use in the studio. I get clients to park a drive with me and I back it up into my own backup array. When they confirm their drive has been received in good condition, they are then responsible for the data and the backup gets erased to clear space here. I am always happy to wait a week or two if a client wants to backup their drive and then tell me a confirmed backup exists on their end.

We've been having good luck with our Seagate "Free Agent" 1.5TB drive. Have
also done well with LaCie and Maxtors...
