I only use Seagate drives when possible. Acknowledging that my sample is too small to be even remotely statistically valid, I've had the best results with Seagates. I use the Free Agent desktop drives several places for specific purposes, and I've had very good results from those. For the primary disk based backup that goes offsite daily, I use a single-bay High Rely unit, rotating 5 drives

I'm using a High Rely single bay unit, rotating 5 drives. So for example right now, last night's drive is here (going home with someone later), tonight's is in the bay, and 3 are offsite. I think these are more robust than consumer-grade external drives that are designed to sit on a desk all the time. Also, there are no issues about "safely remove" or anything like that with these. http

I first do the ShadowProtect backups to a Windows Storage Server. (However, this could just as easily be a NAS, a USB drive, or whatever). Two servers back up to the Storage Server, finishing by some time well before midnight. Then at 1 AM, I use the Mirror feature of Arcserve to copy the two backup directories (one for each server) to a High Rely drive that is then taken offsite later

I use High Rely drives for backup to disk, and I've been quite happy with them. Mine are attached to a 64-bit Windows Storage Server, and I had a few intermittent problems with eSATA, but since I switched to USB, no problems whatsoever. They're likely more robust than those portable drives, and definitely more than the non-portable desktop USB drives. No question the person who's responsible

I'm using a Silicon Image SiI 3124 that I got from High Rely in a PE 830. http://www.tapesucks.com/HR3/includes/ListProds.php?CategoryKey=SATA (scroll down to the bottom). That particular server does not run SBS, but it runs Windows Server 2003. The card seems to work fine - shows normally in device manager, no errors. However, occasionally (maybe twice a month) a copy operation to the

If you go to www.tapesucks.com, there's a video of them throwing a High Rely hard drive off the roof and running over it. I've got tapes, external hard drives, and a High Rely system (one-bay with 5 drives). I've had various problems, with tape in particular, but there's no beating tape for offsite. The High Rely system seems to eliminate hot swap and other USB issues, but you're asking

I've decided on High-Rely, based on a lot of recommendations and reviewing several products. I worry about a regular consumer-grade external drive for two reasons - problems such as you describe, and because when we rotate the external USB drive to offsite storage, it's not robust enough to survive sailing off the car seat. They're also not very user-friendly for the person who handles

Thanks, I was looking for eSATA II card so I emailed Adaptec Sales and this is their response for Non-Raid use: Yes, we have the 1225SA eSATA controller, which has Software capabilities but are disabled by default. The RAID feature can only be enabled if you choose, otherwise it is just an interface controller card. http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/sata_tech/entry/AAR-1225SA/ http

I'm not talking about a RAID card - see http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/_eol/usb/usb_sata/AUA-5020/. Adaptec doesn't make these easy to find on their site, that's for sure. The most-recommended external SATA boxes I've seen are Granite Digital and High-Rely. I don't have any personal experience with either one, although I'm heading in this direction soon with any luck. http://www
