Seagate
In a case of whatever you can do, we can do it better; Seagate takes a
swipe at
Western
Digital's 2TB hard-drive by announcing one of its own. This
time around, however, Seagate makes no secret of the rotational-spin
rate, letting you know it's the full-fat 7,200rpm off the bat.
Part of the Constellation ES series, the 2TB monster will be released
in Q3 of this year, and feature either a SATA or SAS 2.0
(serial-attached SCSI v2, operating at 6Gb/s) interface. Knowing that
the drive will be available in capacities of 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB,
platter-size is obvious: 500GB.
Seagate will also release 2.5in Constellation drives in 160GB and 500GB
capacities this quarter, again with the enterprise sector in mind,
appreciating the 7,200rpm spindle speed, SAS 2.0 or SATA interface,
just like the bigger-capacity, 3.5in models.
Trouble is, Seagate won't be drawn on price, and with the Western
Digital 2TB GreenPower now selling for around £200, we'll
have to wait a while until we can get our mitts on the only other 2TB
drive around.

Your best bet for data security is to go RAID, but make sure its a proper RAID, not 2 disk stripe RAID 0.
My hard drive analogy:
IDE = 4 cylinder engine
SATA = V6
SCSI = V8
If you are really that worried about your data, you will have to go SCSI, (or FC).
IDE was designed for 12 - 15% usage, (reading and writing 24/7)
SATA was designed for 45 - 55% usage, (reading and writing 24/7)
SCSI was designed for 95% usage, (reading and writing 24/7)

Very true.
But dude, stop pimping your own services. We don't like that on here, and you wouldn't want the ban hammer would you?
