I've tried to be as gentle as possible with these USB disks, but if they won't last even for one year, I guess I would be better off on getting deal from one of those web hosting providers, who gives you 200-300GB worth disk space for USD7/month and dumping all my data in there (or something like mozy.com). Of course, one problem in this kind of backup scenarios is that if you ever have to take the data back from offsite location, it is going to take lot of time and during the process you will probably exceed all your monthly traffic limits.

Just a guess, but there could have been a physical crash of the drive and part of the surface it damaged. The big problem is that as soon as something goes out of alignment in a drive, it will like due even more damage to the disk surface. A hard drive in a desktop computer is usually less susceptible to these issue simply because it doesn't get moved around often. Fortunately, it sounds like you have a back up. There are only two types of computer users out there: those who have lost data, and those who will lose data. <em>Cromely's last blog post..<a href='http://cromely.blogspot.com/2008/02/baseball-season-starting.html' rel="nofollow">Baseball season starting</a></em> Once a hard drive starts to have issues, it’s generally time to retire it.

I rode my motorcycle through Finland in 2002, it was great! Sorry about the Seagate drive, I've heard a lot of bad things about those 500GB things. A lot of people had problems with them. Good luck and thanks for the pictures! <em>Paddy Wallbouncer's last blog post..<a href='http://www.thefutonponcho.com/2008/02/16/baltimore-cop-beats-skateboarder-kid/' rel="nofollow">Baltimore Cop Beats Skateboarder Kid</a></em> Hice site, the one pic with the yellow trails leading to the crosses in the sky is really cool.
