Default Can anyone recommend a good external hard drive?

I need to backup around 20 TB's of data on a daily (or even hourly) basis for a news website we currently operate. What would you recommend for a hard drive to do this with? I have two hard drives now but i'm looking for one solid performer to do these backups with.

Thanks in advance for the ideas.

Sorry, I meant to say 2 TB of data, not 20. I don't see an area where I can edit my post above. If anyone has any suggestions, it's for 2 TB of data daily being backed up for multiple website databases. Thanks in advance.

I use this portable hard drive:

I used to use large thumb drives but dropped one and it smashed into a million pieces. I lost a few articles and writings that I could never recover. Since then, i've backed up everything I could ever need on this device. It's encrypted for security, and is really durable. It should do what you are looking to do.
