[Web] SWAUG REVEW: USB BAR | ANN.lu |
Posted on 26-Apr-2004 13:02 GMT by SWAUG REVIEWS | 31 comments View flat View list |
We were approached by a non-Amiga company, USB-Pendrive.co.uk to test the USB Bar for a number of weeks on our Amigas.
The result is this review.
Check it out if you fancy an alternative to ancient floppy disks on your Amiga.
Our website is also in the process of getting a complete facelift and overhaul- we hope you like the changes that have been made.

SWAUG REVEW: USB BAR : Comment 29 of 31 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ole-Egil on 28-Apr-2004 06:02 GMT | In reply to Comment 28 (Mikael Burman): Interestingly enough, most original floppies I have still work after 10-15 years. But the boot-floppy I made last week... Nah.
Typically, they specify data retention at 10 years plus. Unlike magnetic storage, magnetic fields will not affect this. But magnetic storage won't self-drain as quickly. Pros and cons to everything, right?
The only thing that will keep your data is a RAID with offsite backups. I see no other solution... (if your house burns down you loose all your old software unless you have an offsite backup). |
