    I've found that Western Digital hard drives are reliable enough for long term storage. But then I don't burn much to DVDR's like I used to in the past.HDD's take up a lot less space than the same amount of DVD's burned would.

    I'M beginning to swing back to Samsung on the 2 terabyte HDD. Side by side to my WD,they run absolutely cool, where as my WD run warm..Now when I say cool I mean cool..Like a frying pan B4 U put it on the Stove
    As far as storage goes, it's cheaper then Discs, and better organized.

    Even this one coming in at under .07cents a gigabyte, that comes to ~28cents for a 4Gb disc. I think we all know that we can get discs cheaper than that ;) And that's samsungs cheapest value option right now. At 28cents though, I should definitely consider. I spend roughly that on average for my verbatims. I'm pretty sure that verbatim discs will outlive any one of my HDD's though. I take damn good care of my discs. ALL of my backups are in disc envelopes. Much like netflix does I suppose. I got sick of the pockets in books scratching my discs...

    omegaman7 : Like I stated earlier I convert all DVDs to Two Gig AVI 4 storage. Which I find quite crisp
    About the only thing I put on Disc is MKVs to Blu-ray for storage which run up to 8 gig
    Standard D/Loads being 700mb to 1.4 gig
    I don't use DivX Players anymore, I bought a WD Live Media Player. I watch Movies right off the HDDs.
    The convenience for a couch potato like myself is AWESOME

    I turn it off when not in use
    The most hrs it has is 8 hrs to format, 8 hrs to transfer Data
    About 45 mins for 2 gig movies
    I think about 20 700mb & 1.4 gig Movies roughly 3 mins ea
    Then it's disabled and turned off
    Not sayin that's gonna help, I've had HDDs working and when rebooted didn't work. Only time will tell
    I keep 2 500 gg HDDs loaded with the movies I want to Watch, when finished pick out the creme 2 save and dump the rest.
    I've got to get one more for TV Series though. Which ever goes on sale 1st Samsung or WD Black.. Might just buy 2. I really like the BLAC X Docking Stations by Thermaltake for changing drives

    Rick,
    If you got the New Arrival add from newegg yesterday, and have the promo code, this drive can be had for $87.99 with free shipping.

    Looks like a pretty good storage drive!

    Did anybody know that the state you live in expects you to keep track of your on-line purchases and to pay taxes on them at the end of the year . . .

    Yeah right . . keep dreaming you greedy tax collectors . . .

    TigerDirect has a Seagate 1.5TB for 69.99 after rebate. Checked shipping for my zip (midwest) and it was 6.99. They also have Verb 16X -Rs for 9.99/100 in case anyone's interested.

    you mean you guys don't pay your online taxes every year? I can't wait to also pay the new VAT I've been dreaming about. Pretty soon I'll just stay home and collect my entitlements because there won't be any reason to work. LOL
