CD-R will be best for archiving, but little else. -you can't write directly to them (you need to organize all images before you write to it) -you can't edit the files once written -it takes forever to write a CD-R, you can't just drag and drop the files The Jaz would be a good working, intermediate storage/backup medium, but I wouldn't use it to archive your images--too expensive, and wasteful. Don't you already have some sort of removable storage like MO or Syquest in your setup? I thought most of the data or image acquisition setups (cathlab, MRI, etc.) usually came with one of those removable storage devices. We acquire data and store directly to Jaz (images and large continuous data sets). Edit, sort, and document the files, then write to a CD-R on another machine. We need the portability and speed of the Jaz for the acquisition and editing, but you may not. Also, are you writing the CD with the same machine you are acquiring images. You might not want to tie up that machine for extended periods. Sending 500 MB over your network to write CD's on a regular basis would not be nice. You are welcome to e-mail me if I might be of more help. Later Chucky
