Fission wanted to post this but he's banned:
one "high quality drive" is a terrible idea because regardless of what it is advertised as, you are banking on the fact that it isn't going to fail and you have no recourse when it does. refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID and use multiple hard drives for proper redundancy.
