>> Obviously with 28 disks, I have a lot of information stored. It includes daily stock transactions that are stored in the context of other market data at the time of the trade--so a lot of very important material--and that is why this is so very discouraging. << Not to beat the point to death, but my advice to you is to forget storing archiving important info on rotating magnetic disks altogether. Optical devices like CD-RW are clearly the way to go IMO. I love CD-R/W, and have 2 burners myself. At work, we have 4. But another possibilty for your needs could be the new OnStream tape drive, which stores 15Gigs uncompressed (30 compressed) at a very fast rate (for tape) all in the background as you work. OnStream tape drives are faster than Zip drives. Very slick indeed. All for $299. In fact, Onstream claims you can view multimedia files directly from Onstream tapes. Moer info is at onstream.com
