So I’ve been researching 3TB hard drives for a long time. I kept finding unreliable reviews for all the current 3TB drives. Eventually, I found somewhere with a lot of review – Amazon.com (duh!)

I ended up getting a 3TB WD Elements drive.

3TB – Media I: Cartoons, Anime, and Shows
2TB – Media II: Comics, Manga, Movies, Music
300GB – System: System (C:\) + Temp Files (Download, t*rr3Nt5)
500GB – My Documents: Web Design and Development Files (Photoshop, Flash, Code), My Photos, My Stuff, My Videos + Files: Pictures, Programs
750GB – BACKUP: Media that’s hard to get back, My Documents Backup
750GB – This was a sorta failed HD before so I’m not relying on it….but…this will be backup as well. Backup of my other 750 GB. I will leave it unplugged….but maybe copy files to it ever 1/2 year. I dunno, it seemed to fail, but since I did a format of it, it’s running pretty well.

I used to back things up so frequently …. but to be honest, I haven’t done a good backup in years. If my HD with my pictures failed….god, that’d be terrible. About 5 years ago, I burned everything tons of DVDs…but burned DVDs are NOT reliable. As proof – when I needed those discs, I kept getting Cyclic Redundancy (is that what it’s called? I forget…). Hard Drives are not reliable either even.

Anyways, I’ve spent about 2 nights simply moving files. “26 hours remaining” was one of my transfer windows :O
I haven’t been able to touch many of my files….and I watched a lot of tennis the last 3 days. U.S. Open Finals and Semi-finals. I’m glad I did, I had a lot of fun…Also, I was watching Prince of Tennis almost all day yesterday :D

Also, I’ve been organizing files from my past work terms, into my current file organization, for my portfolio for warrenshea.com. There are still tons of things/sites I need to get from my current place of employment…hopefully I’ll do that some time this week. Then my portfolio will really explode (it’s lacking quite a bit lately).
