Hi,
It seems my external USB connected 1TB Iomega is dead (files missing, cannot access files that are visible, directory structure is intact though I can see it etc.). I use this TB drive for my weekly data backups and semi annual Ghosts. I am not in deep trouble (yet) as my system is functional and my data drive on my PC is fine. However I am at risk right now if my HD failed so I want to get this sorted out ASAP. I will have lost my Ghosts, irritating but not a big deal. I am not going to bother with the recovery techniques I have read about on the Internet, this post is not about that it is about what to replace this drive with.
I no longer trust the Iomega product so I won't be buying another one of these drives, what other external storage options would anyone recommend? i.e. Drobo? Any other recommendations? I am not ready to back up to the Cloud yet (comfort level issues) so that is not an option.
Thanks,
Marc
