1. Comment - Seagate: Solid-State Disks Will Never Replace Magnetic Storage

   Really? A phonograph? A friend of mine has one of those. It doesn't work, handsome thing though it is.
   
   I still have a record player, but I haven't used it in a few years. I spent $300 on a tape deck with two motors and Dolby B, C, and S, but I haven't used it since forever, either.
   
   I've still yet to warm up to iPods. That'll probably be the thing to replace CDs, but I'm gonna give it a bit more of a wait before I make my move to upgrade.

   Yah, then it will say, "completed with errors," and you get to start all over. The only time I've had an erroneous backup to hard drive was when the disk itself had bad sectors. I fixed it once with HDD Regenerator, and the problem hasn't repeated itself since.
   
   After I finish writing the archive to hard disk, I boot back into Windows and burn it to DVDs. Things go so smoothly these days; I tell you from the bottom of my heart that I don't miss tapes one bit. Never again will I entrust my valuable data to a tape. They're anything but reliable.
