I'm looking for a good web site company that has to offer very large storage.

Reason why I say this is because I have 2 harddrives and really it's time to start uploading all my mp3's to a site to store for awhile.

One harddrive is full 7.6g'sof all mp3's WOW EHH yea I know.

But I don't want to delete them just to free up some disk space I know there is opition to upload but where is one of the best sites that can support 7.6 g's for the price.

Any ideas where?

For the most part, the on-line storage sites have shifted entirely to buisiness customers only.

There are 2 ways that they can make money on the storage they offer.
1. Off-site backups of critical files.
2. A resource for mobil users.

In any event, the pricing plans tend to exclude the individual user.

Personally, I would either archive the MP3 files onto 3 sets of CDs. (1 to use, 2 to store)

Or, spend the $100 and get a 120MB hard drive so you have room for lots of files.

Either way, you will spend a lot less money then you would for on-line storage.

Purchase an IDE RAID card from adaptec and 2 identical hard drives... Then set up a mirror and then put your MP3s on these drives...

By the way, I suggest getting larger (80GB) hard drives since you're only at the tip of MP3 collecting... Once ihad over 40GBs of albums from my personal CD collection over the years, and I lost them all when my PC crashed. Now I'm running RAID for my mp3s.
