:yuck:

Now lets take a dodgy HDD and a dodgy SSD and see which one is easier to get anything off.

besides, to me that's an ad for BACKUPS, not to mention having your photos printed at a photo lab.

Have to agree with you pctek - in my experience an SSD (flash drive) will generally fail with no warning and will be totally inaccessible if it does fail.

Whereas a traditional HDD will generally have given some warning. And even if it didn't give any warning of failure, it will often still be accessible (not always, but often).

I will still back up to a HDD...

1191595 2011-04-03 06:00:00 Their marketing team missed the ball on that one. It is a really boring ad that hardly mentions hard drives.

Isn't it funny how people think that they are backing up when they MOVE their data to an external drive?
