Re: Isn't it true though, that removable storage has a greater failure rate than fixed storage? The failure rate between hard drives and removable drives isn't a fair comparison. Hard drives are exhaustively used by systems so much so that a higher failure rate is expected.. It is my experience that their failure rate is greater than Zip drives. >>If that's the case then those business that want great assurance would chose to go with fixed storage over removable. << Further a hard drive crash is most often catastrophic while with removable drives the data is more often stored on more than one disk ( should be, I've got at least four copies of my data ) there by lessening the impact of the loss of drive. I don't care about the drive, I care about my data. I can't speak for the industry other than my own experience but wouldn't expect my numbers to be an exception Regards Reseller
