My Portable USB drives (note: not USB memory sticks) keep breaking.
I kept having problems writing files to my USB memory stick, and it turned out to be the voltage on my USB 2 hub dipping below the required threshold. Apparently it's a well-known problem. The stick worked fine in any of the PC's built-in USB sockets.
Problem is I don't know if one can even get 7-port USB 2 hubs with their own power supply, to hold the voltage steady, instead of leeching power from the PC, and 4-port hubs are a waste of space.
I've been carrying around the Lacie 500 GB external HDD for 2 years now.
It spends every day bumping around in my van as I drive from site to site.
Never had any problems with it and I'm so impressed, I bought another external Lacie HDD last week. I'll probably be so impressed with that, I'll end up buying the company like that Stella Rimington advert.
WWTD ?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
In a trial of this technology, Atw's underpants were capable of storing the state of every molecule in the planet Jupiter and its moons, in real time
So that's was SKA is.
A giant storage device to analyse, interpret and codify AtW's skidmarks, and explain them in the context of Life, The Universe and Everything.
Cunning...simple cunning.
I bet you lizards hadn't even thought of that !
