**Help on mobile storage needed tank drives etc etc **

[Brett]

Hi guys I would be makin' a trip up to thailand for 3-4 weeks

I would like to know what would be my best bet on storage.

I heard Tank or X drives have problems ie: out of 300 images u transfer in, 1 or 2 might go missing, is this ture ? any one using this face problems ?

of course I would like to get my hands on a small lap top with a combo drive/CDRW drive.

are there any new products that might help ? budget abt 1 k for a reliable storage/laptop 2nd hand also can

I am using a type of storage devoce called Super DigiBin by Leading Spec.

As per all hard drives, yes there is a danger that certain segments of the drive is damaged/defective (due to manufacturing fault/mishandling etc).

I think it is almost impossible to check which segment of yr drive is defective until u use it.

So there u go, u may wanna consider a 1G CF card as an option...
