My birthday is fast approaching and I have been tempted with all of the electronics ads I see.
So far my only purchase has been an $18 remote controlled helicopter from an outlet store that I have been flying indoors (the loose foldaway rotor blades
really come in handy).
But every once in a while, a high ticket item comes in that tests my resolve and makes me ask the question 'do I need this?'.
Storage-wise, I am not near that limit on my primary external drive (370GB), but I am near the limit on the secondary drive I use to backup the first (189GB).
From a backup/safety perspective, is RAID 1 really worth anything?
I still have my Simpletech 8GB USB plugin drive, so I have some experience with the company.
But I always feel that with electronics you only buy it when you need it because it only gets cheaper.
I am sooooo tempted by this.
