The larger the disk the more 'fragile' they can be.
I don't completely buy that... I have seen greater reliability of drives over recent years, together with a doubling and quadrupling of capacity.
Eric gave me a couple of redundant 160Gb drives some time ago, one of them went bad on me last week, I think it was made 2004, so that isn't bad?
I do agree that all eggs in one basket is a bad strategy.
My largest drives are 1TB but I have my data backed up onto several smaller drives and more than once.
