Yup Don. I have had the same problem. Lost EVERYTHING 6 months ago
when an external drive adapter unit fried my main drive and my
backup drive in quick succession... Thinking of investing in a DROBO which is a "Raid-type of thing" that takes a few hard drives and you can pull out or change any drive at any time and you still keep all your data. A friend of mine has one in NYC and it seems to work well. He has huge files cos he shoot's on 6x7 and scans negs in at ridiculous res. he's had it over a year and... So far so good.

I have had a run of really bad results with those things lately. I have had 3 go down completely and another get too squirrely to trust. All within about a year. Has anyone else run into more problems than normal? I am buying what seem to be good brands. Is cloud computing the answer? It gets to be taxing to keep transferring large photo files to other drives. |
