      that istorage is very interesting. i think a bit expensive for me now.

      is Kingston really trusted brand?

      i had bad experience with PNY. Bought a cheap PNY 4 years ago. i think 32gb. comp didn't recognize the drive, in linux and windows...
      i think it's a cheap chinese make.

      ssd drive vs spinning harddisk. which store data longer? am thinking getting a backup drive that won't lose data after 2 years non-use.

      interesting. am thinking, in a few years, it'd be hard to find a blue ray drive.
      there used to be lots good info on the web. i remember reading, writable CD lasts like 10 years. perhaps similar with blue ray.

      hahaha. Apple stopped including a CD/DVD drives since some 5 years ago. and i think PC pretty much followed by now, at least laptops.

      i think optical disk like CD/DVD/BlueRay are just dead tech. The problem is with the form factor. unwieldy. tape would be a real better perm storage, i think.
      while working as sys admin on server back in y2k, we use tapes. i was responsible in choosing and buying them.

      looking up flash drive vs hard disc for small backup for 3 years, it's kinda mixed bag. no absolute say which is better. rather, you want to shop for expensive high quality ones, either tech.

      @craig several small ones doesn't work well for me. cuz one has to find which one, and some too big for this one, etc. very tedious.
