Good news for high volume data backup
PossumTrot wrote: "Shawn Hirn" wrote in message ... Hmm. You might be right, but considering that HD DVD has some powerful supporters, don't knock it out yet. I also am not sure optical disks would make good backup media only because writing to them would be a heck of a lot slower than mechanical disk drives or solid state devices. I too assumed that the recent announcement that Warner had chosen BluRay might mean the end of HD-DVD, but an article today says that consumers have bought about 60% more HD-DVD machines than BluRay (something like 500,000+ to 300,000+). One of the reasons for those numbers may be that WalMart sells HD-DVD machines exclusively. "For my part, my images are not worth backing up." Who do you suppose said that? Or should have? OT: Wasn't that long ago I saw a possum trotting. By the time I got my camera, he was in a tree, hissing like a pointy-face cat. My little companion animal, ET the Xoloitzquintli, did hold a skunk at bay long enough that I could whip out my CP995: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/28/48...258b7404_o.jpg -- Frank ess |

http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsr...700383,00.html Warner chose to support only the higher capacity Blue Ray format (50GB per disk for Blue Ray vs. 30GB per disk for HD DVD). This could mean the death of the lower capacity HD DVD format and lower costs for Blue Ray disks due to their mass use (economies of scale). Good news for all photographers who have to backup Gigabytes and Gigabytes of images :-) That is good news indeed. Hopefully those disks will last longer than average CDs. -- artix http://www.abstractart.ws _Abstract Art Directory_ |
