I've had at least 4 portable hard drives fail over the last four years, but was lucky to be able to recover most of my data after much effort. Why would anyone risk losing more than two gigabytes of data at one time.? Not me!
Primeuser, because we shuck them and use them in units running FreeNas, can loose up to two drives and still not loose your data. Redundancy, name of the game.

Because the cost:capacity ratio is better at higher capacity. Spend $160 for a couple 4TB and have one the offline backup of the other if the budget won't stretch to $300 for a couple 8TB.
In other words, redundancy. Don't put all your baskets in one egg.
