I basically want to store my media files such as videos and music somewhere other than my main hard drive, and an external hard drive seems the best option. However i was wondering if anyone ever experiences a decrease in quality if you transfer something to a external hard drive and then access it a long time after (maybe a year).

I seem to have a memory of an episode of a programme i watch being put on an external hard drive, and when i played it a couple of months later it kinda went out of sync with the audio. Is this a one off, or should i store to DVD?
