temp/archival storage and SxS vs SDHC recommendations?

[Alfredo Claussen]

LaCie for doorstops? Good Idea!!!
(I only use them as projectiles to keep away wild animals, BTW.)

Surely the WORST HDD’s of ALL them.

And please don’t start me talking about their absolutely inexistent “customer support” as there is practically none. when a company treats its customers as LaCie does, it deserves the worst bad-mouthing possible, granted!. Amclaussen.

BTW, try OTHER HDD brands, Hitachi and WD seem to last enough to be called “problem free”. The thing is that you need to get external cases for them, and then it is not as easy to get them with FW… this malady of the ubiquitous USB!!! GRRRR!
