It does, especially as I often have 2 versions of many movies, A Full maximum quality version, and alover quality version for Portable devices as most can't support full res DVD movies.


I prefer this solution, as I travel quiet frequently,for a couple of months at atime, so having all my Mewd available on a single drive for easy access is a godsent, As I've lost too many CD's and DVD in the past which got banged up in the luggage, not to mention the problems, having a hundred or so discs can cause at customs in many place, who may be worried about you reselling the stuff.

I also tend to back up all my Driver Disc's, Application Installers, etc as ISO's on the drive so if I ever have to reinstall everything from scratch when I'm travelling, i don't have to wonder whether or not I have the install disc with me.

Another reason is redundency. With dives getting larger and large, I worry about losing most of my data if one drive were to go bad, so I've slowly started to get Matched pairs, and keep data synced over them, to minimise risks, as i've lost more then one drive in the past, losing data.
