I've been using a removable, internal hard disk for backing up and
archiving. I'm looking to upgrade and wanted to see what technologies
you guys are using.
The benefit of a removable internal drive is that it's nearly twice as
fast as USB 2.0 and Firewire. It connects directly to the IDE
controller so reported throughput is more than 1 GB/minute (though in
practice it's more like 200-400 MB/minute because of file handling.
The downside is it's not hot-swappable.
With archiving, I need capacity so the neat little USB micro drives
aren't really an option.
So, I guess my priorities are portability for off-site storage,
capacity and speed. Any suggestions?
