Seagate?
You better get an external hd casing plus another hd. Zoomextreme ZX-5 or ZX-8 are good. Running cool with the 8cm fan.
My company Seagate 200mb 3.5" died within a year suddenly without warning. My personal 40gb 2.5" died within a year without warning, sent for repair, died within 2 months without warning. Both the Seagate hd made in Singapore.
btw, I found that many of the dvd-r media don't last. The dye or something degrades and I lost a few photo discs due to dvd-r rot.
i'm already using 3x300gb seagates in a HDD tower (leading to one USB port) on top of my internal drives on both PCs. (new one has the RAID0 config with the new 320gb SATA2 seagate, old one has about 300GB spread over a couple of drives).
those casings u mentioned can only hold one drive. if i use that i would have alot of casings, power sockets and usb wires running all over the shop.
none of my seagates have crashed to date, maxtor yes. as for DVDs, they are my secondary back up (primary is HDD) and in years to come, another media will replace dvd and i will migrate them over. that's the "cost" of digital media over the long term, it's actually more expensive than film. =)
i forgot you have the budget for those RAID towers... hehehe...
one of those plus the hds is enough for me to get a new cheap wide angle, which i desperately need but not able to afford as yet.
