CompUSA.com | ST31500341AS | Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB Hard Drive (OEM).
Of course, being a careful lawyer, you have imaged your hard drive data at least once within the past week, right? You know that hard drives fail, and that recovering data from a fried or damaged hard drive can cost thousands of dollars, if it can be recovered at all, right? You also know that modern OSes likely have one touch back up and imaging built right in to the OS, right? You know that you can get over a Terabyte hard drive for less than the cost of two tickets to a concert or football game, right? You also know that you can get a 1.5 Terabyte internal drive for $79, after a $30 rebate, at CompUSA online, right? You know that, if you are backing up a notebook computer, that you can get a cheap enclosure for the internal drive and plug it in to a USB port on your notebook, right? Of course you do. You are a bright lawyer. You know that knowledge is king, and data must be preserved. Bravo for you.
... and I know that years ago I stopped entrusting my data to Seagate HDs and buy nothing but Western Digital HDs. The difference in reliability and quality is striking.
