We're both wrong :oops:

I've just spotted that HP do some 7.2k 1TB SAS disks @ £450 a pop.

Shame they're not running at proper speeds though.

That's because they have 3" platters like desktop drives, not the 2.5" platters of the faster drives.

Yeah. We had a load of CIFS data on some outsources storage which was on 7.2k disk and it was painful! We took it back in house with tier 1 on 15k fibre channel (& tier 2 still on our own SATA) and the difference was huge.

First time it took 54hrs to backup 1.2Tb information but it is an incrimental system and last nights backup took just over 4hrs to backup the changes - some 80Gb - and then it also replicates itself onto an external hard drive which is taken off-site.

Do you take full backups from time to time. Incremental backups can get their knickers in a twist from time to time. Nightly diffs and weekly fulls is quite a good compromise.
