The first time I bought a flashcard recorder was the Marantz PMD-690, a
great machine and I thought, here we go, I like this system and this will
wipe the floor with minidisk, I had two Microdrives by IBM, 1GIG. I lost th=
e
bloody lot one day transferring to a computer to back it up; the disk just
froze on me and was never able to get the data off the card, even after
sending it to a data recovering company.....
I know technology is better now, but I still am weary of it.....

If/when I switch to a flash card recorder, I think I would back up as often
as possible on to a laptop hard drive, long before I filled the whole flash
card (in other words, back up after each recording session, even if it is a
short session). That sounds more reasonable than filling a 2 gig card befor=
e
doing any backups.
One can also buy special portable hard drives with flash card readers
built-in.

Hello folks,
A throw-away comment from the depths of my ignorance of all
these technical comparisons.
A 2 gig card full of field recordings is not only a hell of a lot of files
for editing. It is also a hell of a lot of "eggs in one basket"!
