[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 39193, member: 34"] Re: Rugged external hard drives Get one of the enclosures that can do RAID1. They aren't expensive, drives are cheap, and they're barely larger than a single drive. And you will have a mirrored copy of all your data all the time. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817332018[/url] AMS is excellent, highly recommended... Edit: if you really care about your data (like I do), you should be touring with a server with a RAID 5 or RAID 6 array. A separate shock rack for a 4U computer shouldn't be that big of a deal, and you will be guaranteed to never lose data. Make it a 6U rack and stick a UPS in there too. [/QUOTE]
