I am a video editor and am having some trouble storing the huge video files that I accumulate.

I have an 80GB harddrive, and a 250GB harddrive, both clogged with these huge (around 20GB) video files I use for editing.

My computer can handle one project at a time, which can amount to around 150GB of raw video, but storage is getting out of hand.

And I can't just delete these files, because sometimes the director comes back and wanted me to re-edit parts, which requires the raw video.

I already researched tape storage...but that is way too expensive (around $900 is the cheapest one that would fit my needs).

I would buy more harddrives...but I'm always scared they will crash, so what I want is a safe way to store these huge files without degrading the quality and without spending huge amounts of money. I have no money...so I would like to keep it under $500.

Any help?

I have a 3.5 external hard drive and would like to be able to use it when there are no power outlets around (no I won't get a 2.5 drive because there isn't enough drive space).

Or better yet, is there a USB cable that can connect directly to the power input on the hard drive?

I have just installed a backup hard drive into my new HP Pavilion a1532n computer. To gain clearance to install the hard drive, I unbolted the 4 captive bolts and moved the main fan aside. (there are two fans in rhe system. After the drive installation, I rebolted the fan. It is very noisy. the bolts threaded easily into the threaded holes on the computer wall. Did I tighten them too much? The wires are back where they were before I began the installation.
Any suggestions on how to quiet a very noisy fan?
If you do not know the answer but need the 2 points say hello. Serious suggestions please.
Thanks everyone.
