Subject: [Leica] Re:OT: external hard disk size

The size of the disk does not matter. Mission critical servers use massive 
HDD's (Terabytes in size) and suffer no consequences. The reliability is in 
the controller. Buying good quality External HDD cases is the key. The ULTRA 
ATA (133) is your best bet as SATA drives are technically not as reliable 
when used EXTERNALLY. SATA cuts down on signal corruption from adjacent 
wires and does not significantly increase bandwidth (ie speed). Second gen 
SATA will increase bandwidth when it arrives.
