I spent weeks (weeks) ripping my entire dvd collection to an external hard drive for use through my apple tv. Works great except for two main issues: backup is a bit*h and if I were to lose them I would be devastated.

I'm currently using Time Machine on my mac, and while it's cool it just doesn't provide me the flexibility I need. After my single terabyte drive is finished backing up my movies, tv shows, pictures and other documents it's sitting at about 96% capacity. What am I to do now? I have a solid backup system, but I'm in a constant state of burning dvds and moving content off my computer to make room (and that's before i dive into my time machine to remove all instances of a backup).

I always said if I could find one for $300 I'd pull the trigger.
