That agrees with what Tim presented at the meeting I attended. However, saying "keep all your files on one drive" might lead some to think those files are vulnerable should that one drive fail. Tim, as anyone with a lick of smarts would know, says that one drive should be backed up to other drives or places.
And what is the rationale for keeping all your files on ONE drive ? I keep my files on several drives (one would not be big enough).

First, the suggestion is for most people.
had i said that you'd be on it like no tomorrow.
i could do the same right back, but i won't, since i don't stoop to those levels.
I'm sure Tim isn't saying this is the way you *must* store your files, and I sure don't. There's always going to be some people who have a good reason for doing it differently.backing up more than one drive can also be done at one time.
But, with the availability of relatively inexpensive multi-terrabyte external drives, getting all your files on one drive is not difficult. With all your files on one drive, you can back up all files at one time. Backing up the drives is the most protective action you can take.
you must be doing it the hard way, manually, which does not surprise me in the least.
I know you can set a back-up protocol to back up multiple drives, but the one-drive system works for most people.what you don't know is that backups can be automated and the number of drives makes no difference. the computer doesn't care if it's one or 15 drives.
I know one fellow who uses multiple drives, but he's heavy into stock photography and keeps all of his background files on one drive. He's got terrabytes of skies and other stock backgrounds.lots of people have multiple drives. it's not unusual.
i just added another drive to the mix yesterday and it already has 300 gig of stuff that had previously been scattered among several other drives.
