Re: done with cheap storage?
The price of an SD card all depends on the size and the quality of the storage on it.. if you're only going to store a bit of info on it, a smaller low-quality SD card can be made pretty cheaply. If you want to have a LOT of storage capacity and have all of it be error-free, then you're going to be looking at a much more expensive SD card.. It's just like LCD screens or silicon chip wafer sizes...

@mhh:
These details you shared are very interesting. I am not aware of SD cards being that cheap.

@bayte:
As i said in my other post, we certainly have to keep our hopes high. That is the basic step of setting ourselves an expectation. That's when we can work towards that target. That is what i belive should be our cycle.

Re: Dial Up Obsolete
Yeah I get it! It definitely makes sense as to why there's only certain things offered because of the location. It just brings me back to when I was little..thinking about dial up!

Re: done with cheap storage?
Putting DVDs on a backup drive isn't too hard or inconvenient-- it's digitizing VHS and LPs that takes time. Basically, you have to watch/listen to the content in real time to make a copy. Maybe you could spin the LPs faster and then use some audio editing software to slow it down....

Re: done with cheap storage?
@mhhf1ve I do not know as I go by what I got told by my friend pc tech working in the local PC show, people ordering three to four 8TB drives with usb 3 cases and few months after they droping/giving away for free DVD's/VHS/tapes/LP's I think they use one of the Amazon solution kits like transfer your media to HD via usb... as I do not think it could be any other way to preserve media...

Re: done with cheap storage?
Unfortunately, I think hard drives have a higher failure rate than VHS tapes! So.. you're really going to need those backups someday. I'm also curious how you're transferring the content as I haven't seen too many good solutions that do so faster than real time....

I think you're right. Physical media isn't as profitable as it once was. Now that everything needs to be *rented* -- you can get consumers to pay for content again and again, instead of letting them "own" it forever. And once no one remember what optical discs were used for... no one will care about DVDs or Blu-ray or whatever discs.
