  1. Re:RAID1 + optical backup on How Do You Store Your Personal Photos? · · Score: 1

    Oh, I forgot to mention.
    I would strongly advise putting them on a portable hard drive and storing that for the long term. So much can go wrong with the drive not spinning up when you need to recover a backup.
    Burning a BD-R or DVD since seperates the recorded medium from the reading device. So if the motor fails, you can just get a new drive.

  2. RAID1 + optical backup on How Do You Store Your Personal Photos? · · Score: 1

    For my personal photos I have a RAID-1 NAS setup. I wasn't going for speed, so two lowspeed 2-TB drives is a cheap option. Since RAID isn't a backup. I also make two DVD (and more recently BD-R) backups of the photos as well, keeping one copy in my offsite vault (my Mom's house).

  3. What about 5C? on The DRM Scorecard · · Score: 1

    I know my Scientific Atlanta SA8300HD box has a bunch of recordings I can't get off due to TDES encryption. I haven't heard of any ways to get around the encryption, nor any firewire drivers that will get around the 5C encryption.

  4. Re:Buzz-word ALERT! on ZeoSync Makes Claim of Compression Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    You mean this wasn't a Star Trek script page? :P

    Yeah, really heavy on the technobabble and marketing speak. I'd like to see some sort of scientific paper or more technical details free of buzz-words before I decide.

    Somewhere on their pages they mentioned they only have performed it on very small bit strings.... do I'm not holding my breath.
