[QUOTE="krs, post: 1834997, member: 67742"] Thanks, good to know about that Samsung Flash Drive. A couple of comments. By "reliable" I meant one that mounts consistently when plugged into a Mac and where one can read the data reliable with no errors for at least a year or two. Theoretically any "brand-name" flash drive should do that, but like my first comment about the Lexar - reviews indicate those don't meet that rather 'tame' requirement. For longer term storage I have the date on two separate hard drives - I was considering burning it to DVD as well, but that is a fair amount of work since I would need to burn about 20 or more disks. The other comment is about the price of the flash drive Randy recommended - $23.- seems quite reasonable until I click on the links, and for me amazon.ca comes up with this Samsung drive at $51.- Canadian!!! $23.00 US converts to just a few pennies over $30.- Canadian - charging $51 is pretty outrageous. Anyway, I ordered a SanDisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 128GB Flash Drive High Performance up to 150MB/s yesterday before Randy posted - should be here by Wednesday; hopefully that works out OK. [/QUOTE]
