Agree that backups are important, but what does it have to do with Apple/Macbooks reputation in question that was addressed? Hate to make unfounded accusations, but could it be an Apple thing? Macbooks do seem to to have a reputation for HD failure: Flash does fail and does have an end of life issue. Let alone at this time is too expensive for most and also too small. Yes, flash also fails, but conventional wisdom says much less (quality flash, and not the cheap stuff that didn't go thru good design and quality control, or worse counterfeit). Counterfeit Flash Drives Plague eBay Lately there has been a huge increase in the number of counterfeit flash drives on eBay. Sellers claim to be selling large drives (e.g 8GB) from name brand companies, like Sony, but they are actually 64MB drives that have been re-labeled. These drives usually break within a few weeks of being purchase. Please digg this to stop the scammers! digg.com Any reports to substantiate that flash based MP3 players (i.e. nano) are more reliable than hard drive versions?
