    Anyone used CrashPlan?

    I have around 6TB uploaded to crash plan right now. As others have said it depends on your upload and cap. If comcast in your area will tolerate you going over a bit then you can upload faster. I think it took me around 1 year to upload 6TB.

    Newegg - sigh

    I never had a problem with newegg's packaging. All of the drives I received where well packaged. Maybe it is the shipper who packaged. Maybe he got lazy. That stinks though. Contact them and see what they have to say.
