2TB external usb drives

BahBah · 17 May 2009 at 18:36

Hey

I was wondering if anyone knew of any manufacturers/model that were making 2TB external USB drives that aren't just 2x1TB Raid0 ? The drive will be used for backup so Raid0 isn't an option, and the drive must be 2TB due to the way SBS 2008 performs a block level backup. Additionally the drive must be USB, NAS isn't an option with the way SBS 2008 Backup works.

Thanks

WD will be releasing a 2TB External 3.5" drive around June/July.

A sata drive in an IDE enclosure, that's sure to work well

Thanks for your replies

Will give that a go ... for some reason I thought I'd read that thing had a 1Tb max capacity, and for the life of me couldn't work out why it could have such a thing.
