These ultra modern things are made to be SOLD, no to WORK for you. In my office, i have large amount of dead HDD laying around. IMHO, the safest way to store pictures is to print them on paper. Gasha ========= There is some truth to that -- paper copies. :-) But I think storage devices are a little better than they used to be. John Shaw recommends at least three backups, actually four: HD, two on DVD (or CD), and separate portable HD (like an external one for a laptop). Actually it some senses he recommends more than that, two CD/DVDs in a safe deposit box, two at home. But he's a professional photographer. In my case, it's not great loss if most of my images evaporate. Marnie aka Doe ;-)
