You're not nearly paranoid enough if you waited for issues to appear to introduce redundancy of your data.

Oh, that's not true at all... I already had the most important things backed up on another hdd and dvd's as well. It just wasn't current, so it would've been a real hassle to get back the stuff I consider non-important (like a bunch of anime I've downloaded and could easily redownload, but it'd pretty much murder my ratio) and the few things I hadn't backed up yet that are important.

Exactly.  I'm expecting anyone who professes to being paranoid about data to be running at least RAID 6 with hourly rsyncs to another device, and nightly offsite backups.

But I digress.

Or maybe RAID 61 (16?). On SSDs. Plus all that other good stuff.

Tiffanys:
I'm not.... that paranoid. xD

Actually I had this error a few days ago with my uTorrent. It was for a pictures torrent however it seems to have corrected itself so I don't know. My HDDs have been playing up and slowing down recently. Luckily I created a fresh back up of all my data a week ago so I should be fine if anything too big happens.

This somehow feels to have become a technology thread... no?
