Reliability should be quite high, but you could always be the unlucky one. I.e., if your data is not backed up, your data doesn't exist. I think the reliability of Crucial, Intel, and Samsung are all likely to be quite good. One thing I would suggest is to be sure the disk has the latest version of firmware before you start moving or installing data on it. It's typically easier and safer to do a firmware update prior to using the disk. galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
