Need Reliable 1TB External Drive

[IMaN00BieGF]

I'm shooting a film in Paris Next week and I need an extremely Reliable 1TB Drive. I'm shooting on the HVX. I just want to make sure I come back with the footage.

I saw this.. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm...ccd/productDetail.doOn Sale. I want your opinions.

Thanks!

p.s.. I'll be buying two just incase something happends to one.

How about a solid state drive? Can't get more reliable then one of those! Or two...

Though this thread is in the wrong section i'll answer it.
I'd get the WD My book because it uses their 'green' 1TB drive which runs quite and cool. I'm thinking the #1 killer of ext. hdd's is heat, so if its designed to run cool that helps. I'll also add I've only bought 1 My Book and its SATA->USB board failed.

But the reason the 'Green' 1TB runs cool is because it runs slow..

buy 1 1TB dual drive enclosure and RAID1 (mirror) it down to 500GB for real reliability.
