[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1839533, member: 83420"] @nickyr As a keen, amateur, but otherwise hopeless photographer, I have to say that SD cards are fragile and prone to occasional spontaneous reformatting. I only use them in my cameras and leave them in there. I transfer photos via cable to my iMac; never remove the cards. I also reformat the card after each shoot. Your purposes are different in that you are looking for longish term storage, frequent usage and you will be handling the card more often. As Admin chscag said, go for a top quality product. Even then, I would strongly advise a separate backup of your large iTunes library. I would never trust a card as a sole source. If you accept that premise, then why not just go for a couple of EHDs - one for daily usage and one as a backup. Ian [/QUOTE]
