Reliable Hard Drives?

[MartinBen]

We have a PC at work that is used to run some CCTV cameras - basically the CCTV cameras are recording onto the 1 hard drive and it runs 24/7

Now the hard drive is showing distinct signs it is about to die so my question is.

1) What hard drive(s) would people recommend for reliability above size?

2) Would we be better getting 1 hard drive per CCTV camera so each one writes to its own hard drive rather than having several all thrashing the same hard drive?

Thanks for your reply guys

Going to recommend to my boss we get WD Caviars - one for each CCTV - I will try to sell him on Raid1 but times are hard and I don't think he'll buy it!

Thanks again.
