[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1623144, member: 131855"] In the first case the drive failed shortly within months after I bought it. Trying to get into the case was akin to breaking into Fort Knox. By the time I realized that recovery was pretty much out of the question the warranty had expired. In the case of the IOMEGA device I accidentally started a copy operation involving more than 100 MP4 clips from one folder to the iTunes Media folder. I had intended to move aliases of the files instead. The copy process would not cancel. I think I lost poer somewhere in the equation. At any rate the drive was so full and so corrupted that I could not mount the media folder to fix the problem. Managed to remove the drive but Data Rescue was not able to ressurect all of the files. At the moment I have my media drive video clips, iTunes library etc. on an external drive attached to my Time Capsule. If the Time Capsule dies I can use the drive as is or connect it to something else. I can also disconnect the drive from theTime Capsule, connect it to a Mac and run disk utility software as needed. BTW I think some of the Buffalo NAS devices allow you to swap in your own drives should one of them fail. [/QUOTE]
