JRH -

Thanks for the post. My problem is I guess that what I though was plug and play...just isn't. It's plug, don't play but aggravate instead.

I don't have 100s of Negabytes to back up maybe a couple of hundred and manyof those are caused by Winfax which seems to creat loads of Megabytes just for simple things.

I've been thinking of using SanDisks but I wanted one backup medium and maybe the new mini drives will do the trick. They don't have to be as tough as SanDisks and they can stay at home nice and quite and I don't care how much power they consume because I'm in the quite and tranquil home environment.

Still th Zip is very dissapointing. It worked on my old Toshiba but not on this new one!!

Who are HiVal?

Best regards,

L

If your realy concerned with use and reliability, then spending $290 rather than $129 is worth it. My kids burn MP3's onto CD's alomst every night. We use the CD rom for digital camera archives, and I do backups (incremental) in 1 disk at night while I sleep. The media costs only $5, rather than the zip cost of $30, so your fist backup makes up the differnce.

there is cheap and then there is hidden costs. The CD is actually cheaper in the long run.
