[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1082721, member: 46727"] In addition to what Corbab suggested.... Irreplaceable things like family photos, videos, and so forth should never be trusted to one form of media or at least one HDD. Hard drives fail and when they do, things like family photos and videos may be lost forever. There are services that can extract data from "dead" hard drives but they are very expensive. Extracting data from a 500 GB dead hard drive may cost more than $1000.00. What I suggest is that you have several backups of your family videos and photos. You can do that with hard drives, an on line backup service, and if they come down in price, a Blue Ray burner with high capacity BR disks. Something to think about. Regards. [/QUOTE]
