Another thing to take into consideration if you're buying a removable storage system is what do you do with it if your system is down. If you've got at least one friend with a compatible system then you know you can get your report, your school paper, or your tax info printed out again when you need it. If your friends/workplace have a zip (the most popular at this time) then it would sure be a good idea to back your "need to be able to get copies of" info onto a zip. You don't want to be caught with the paper due,your system down your backup on an LS120 and have to drive a long distance to get a paper copy of it when you coulda had a zip drive and gone across town.......If your friends/workplace have LS120's then you should strongly consider that as a backup, so some research before purchasing would be advised I live in a rural area where distances are a little more likely to be involved if I pick a less popular backup ..... so your individual mileage may vary and this might not be a consideration to many, but here at least it was on what storage system to buy.
