I don't back up anything. Important stuff goes to the clouds. Everything else can be re-downloaded.

Also, no, I'm not upgrading my computer anymore. Things would have to become radically more advanced to the point where my computer couldn't keep up anymore for me to upgrade.

I'll be getting a new laptop when Ivy Bridge comes out though.

I woud personally just get a 2TB hard drive (They are really cheap) and make a local backup once in a while. You must have a fast internet connection to download all that user data again but mainly to upload a lot of data there in the first place.

Twice the performance, while running cooler sounds good to me and it should not cost much more for you to upgrade if you sell your current parts.

I'll also be getting a Ivy Bridge laptop. If you get a standard quad core, it will technically be more faster than your desktop at CPU heavy tasks while allowing the laptop to have amazing battery life when say just web browsing. Netbook battery life and desktop performance for the win. Phones will benefit largely too, finally smartphones will be fast and not that power hungry with 28nm chips.
 
I just got a 2TB drive to do all of this moving-around to put the OS on SSD. My important stuff is just writing and documents and things... it's not really a big deal. The only other thing is my lecture series. My 2TB drive is a clone of the original drive before I started with this SSD thing though.

That is good then if you are planning to keep data on at least two hard drives. Even if it is not important, it can be more convenient.

I would not like to meet a customer that has 900GB of data in their users directory.

I can't recall what size my user's directory is, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was over 1TB.

Just got home and checked and Oh I was mighty close!

That's what DVD rips and 10 years of photos do to you.

How bout the guy that has 60+ GB of dirty videos on his laptop that wants you to back it all up?

Well i don't care if he as pornography on his PC, he is paying us to restore the unit so i ask no questions.

I know why his machine was infected with viruses because of the content he has, but i class people like that as money boats.
 
If SSDs came out before they invented porn streaming, I think people would be going through those write-cycles awfully quick.
 
And it looks like iOS 5 killed my pc. Whole thing froze on me and my ssd took a ****. It's like the whole controller took a **** actually. Thanks Apple.

edit: Well, luckily everything came back after I unpowered the mobo and unplugged and replugged everything. What a bizarre set of events. I swear, they have to completely redo iTunes the next time around because it's seriously annoying. It's always hanged every one of my computers every time I've tried to use it.
