I agree with that things can go bad in the destination media. I think I misunderstood your earlier response to mean that something can go wrong in the source media while doing a move - I have come to view current generation hard disks to be infinitely (or maybe vastly is a better term) more reliable than current generation flash storage media. That said, the same argument can be extended that even after the "destination verified, source reformatted" option, the destination can *still* go bad. The only sure way to address this would be to ideally go in for a RAID (redundancy/Real time mirror) solution. If not then at least a backup to a CD/DVD before formatting the source - for absolute peace of mind. > I believe that my method is significantly safer than > a move. Probably, but the odds of destination media failure at some point after the format or during the move happening are still the same I would think.
