Quote: Sony has seen commercial optical data archiving systems fail one after the other: from Blu-ray to DVD and HD DVD. But the firm is either learning from its mistakes or readying itself to make new ones as it launches yet another new proprietary optical disk archiving product and format.
Yet another proprietary format on the way?

I haven't had a chance to mess with the SSD drives yet, But my problem with them is what happens when they fail ? It is not like you can swap the platters to another one for data recovery.
That is an interesting drive in your link though.

If your backup plan is to try and swap out platters to recover your data then I'd have to say you're going about it the wrong way. If the data is that critical that weekly, daily or hourly backups don't cut it then surely a RAID solution?

I guess I was still thinking about only 1 in a system,like a user desktop or laptop, I completely forgot about Normal backups.Which reminds me.....

OMG, me too. I don't remember how long it has been since I backed up my personal desktop apart from a few key files.
I know I am jumping in on a very old discussion, but you know that feeling you get when you read something and the hair on the back of your neck stand up?

Just noticed this, hmm wonder where that quote came from 
And not sure why it ended up in this section.
Edit:
That was strange your comment was the only one showing at the moment, the rest of the conversation was missing untill i clicked post.

I have already had one SSD fail on me (an OCZ from a series that started having failures the day after I bought mine). Luckily I had an image backed up to a volume on the RAID array in the same computer.
The speed improvement is breathtaking, I would suggest "messing" with one as soon as possible.

Thanks, I guess I will have to try them in a raid configuration, or set up using regular back ups.

Don't forget that many SSD/controllers still don't give TRIM support in RAID.
You might be interested in trying Crucial's "Adrenaline" 50GB caching SSD - just add it to the system and it caches your system disk.

Thanks for the info, I looked up the problem, and it will be something to address while testing.
