So far ive found a 350gb and a 500gb capacity HD but was wondering if there was anything larger than that (that wasnt over-priced)?
I need to decode about 150 DVDs to get them ready for encoding (need to ship them on a HD) but right now it looks like im going to need to send them on 5-10 500gb drives and id really much rather just have to send 1 large drive LOL
So anyone know what the largest external hard drive size is that i can pick up from a store or order online?

Maxtor makes a 1.5 TB Drive for about $650.

Might be what you are looking for...not sure.
There is also these TeraSations:

you are starting to get on the small servers side of things, but for the price and what they have to offer its a really nice product.
We own 4 of them for internal data storage and backing up all our workstations here.
have fun!

However, if you're storing large amounts of data, i VERY highly recommend the Terastations over an external drive. There's a little known but documented bug in Win XP and 98 (not sure about Vista) that can cause corruption of the directory on the drive with USB or Firewire external drives when copying large files to the drive. We had that problem about 7 times over the past couple years before I did the digging and found out what was causing it. Data recovery software we use (getdataback from runtime.org) will get the drive data back, but it's not worth the hassle in my book.
Plus... if a drive on the TeraStation dies (and you're set up with RAID-5), you can still access all your data... you just replace the bad drive, the TeraStation rebuilds the missing info to it on the fly, and you're good to go.
I have two 1 TB TeraStations as well. They are perfect, plug and play right into your router or switch.
Lee,
I was just at BestBuy today getting a new Wii game, and I walked over to the external hard drive area. They have some 500 GB External drives on closeout for some really good deals. I assume that BestBuy has the same deals nationwide. Just a heads up to you, or anyone who might be looking.
Oh cool, ill head out to our local store this weekend then, thanks for the tip :)Quote:
