Best external hard drive to store PC ripped music

Along the same sort of lines, I am also interested. But I worked in IT long enough to realise the fallibility of hard drives - is there a solid state alternative?

I'm not sure what your question is. Hard drives by themselves don't have a user interface independent of the directory structure of the operating system you're using or the music server application.

Are you asking what application you should use to manage your music?

Sfar, My Hitachi HD does have back up software. I'm not a big fan of how they decided to organize files on the Hitachi.

That's why I'm wondering if some other brand does it well or better.

I want one that put all the music into one area, regardless of date.

So, if I update the HD drive every week, I don't want files for dates of back up like the Hitachi does, I just want the music files to go into the same folder for all music regardless of date entered.

One big pool of music.

or maybe a HD brand that may cater to music back up, or be more friendly for it. I don't know?
