I have a pair of 1 TB external hard drives in which I keep all my music, photos, home movies, ebooks, and other files. I don't keep everything on my laptop so having 2 allows me to have at least 2 copies of everything. They are nowhere near full so I'll be all set for awhile. If one of them were to fail I'd just buy another drive as soon as possible and load it. I guess I'm trusting my luck that they both won't fail at the same time, or that there is no house fire, etc. Hmm I'm getting nervous now. I am paranoid enough that I have no interest in the cloud.
I have been updating these drives manually which is a pain, especially since my laptop does not have USB 3.0 capability. So thanks HarryT for the synctoy tip, looking forward to trying that out this evening!
