[adiblasi]

Yes, will admit, I have a few Raid 0 arrays on the MacPro. Very fast. Very scary. They call it 'Scary Raid' LOL!

@gizmo86w42 What is Blu-Ray "Anno" ?

[bigkid666999]

Very nice video. A good reminder to back up your stuff and some ways how to do it. I gotta tell ya though gettin' a $200 shredder beats possibly ruining your microwave and stinking up your kitchen (or someone else's ). But once again: Very nice video. Concise and informative.

dvd rw are also magneto optical. advantage of the "floptical" disks is that it is housed in a casing which protects it. disadvantage is that the drives are expensive and not very common compared to a dvd drive. would be nice to see someone do comparison dvd+r vs dvd+RW. quality cd-r seems likely to last longer than blu ray or dvd.

Thanks Alfred, very informative and helpful on archiving. Also, are magnetic tape drives expensive?

[FixedHDD]

I think these magneto tapes aren't very safe. If you let these Tapes near a magnetic field all the data will be erased or destroyed. Isn't it?

[fordieform]

that was REALLY cool thanks for the video i was always interested in tapes, i got over magnetic lazer media after my minidisc craze, i think i'll just go for the blu ray even given the lifespan of disc media; i mean it's so much cheaper than flash drives and competitive sizes.

imma subscribe! i NEVER subscribe!

[TylersComputerShow]

Wow... I remember when I bought a 256 MB flash drive and it was huge! It is sad to see new technology becoming cheaper and cheaper... Nice video!
