Difficult-lah. Hey, but I have two or three cameras to backup plus all my film scans. Reminiscing about the days I brought 30 rolls of film on a trip… I guess you tend to shoot more on holidays. I mean I got about 6Gb just from a 4-day HK trip. Imagine in 2006 when I went to the US for 16 days! Plus I also do video. Not to Kee Sitt’s level, my video is super amateur but also sometimes, we do photos & video for church promo/announcements. I’m a pack-rat 🙂 and we both generate about 120Gb of photos annually.

One day you can drop by for a cuppa 🙂

BTW, I don’t know if this is any help, I’ve had six 3.5″ external enclosures die (4 friends, my wife’s and myself included) so I sort of don’t trust those anymore. Disks were OK though, just the power brick that died.

I'm running 2x 320 + 2 x 500 on a separate archive machine. Have too-lah, need to backup me & my wife's photos too 🙂

Thinking of replacing the 320s with a pair of 750s. I use rsync to sync the disks every hour.

Alex and I have checked out prices in PJ (no need to go so far to Lowyat!) and you can still get pretty competitive prices. Will let you know the cost of it. IDE or SATA?
