There's something of a catch-22. The stuff I care about is on reliable storage (SSD) or redundant storage (RAID or the cloud). I have stuff that I care little about on less reliable storage, but because I don't care about it, I don't really use it, so it just ends up wasting space. I've got two 3 TB external hard drives that I've considered using software mirroring to maintain, but then again, that's redundant storage technology. The cheap as shit hard drive technology ends up being no cheaper than the expensive stuff because it has far less utility than the more expensive stuff. (And really, with the price of hard disks and the ubiquity of integrated raid capable controllers, RAID 1 storage is relatively cheap.)
