Raiding Hard Disks

I'm happy to report that data recovery on the failed La Cie drive--1.5 years old!, was successful although it took full 24 hours to backup 500 Gig of data using Data Warrior.

I met another editor the other day and he recommended Glyph Technologies Hard Disks because they offer 2 years of FREE data recovery service on their hard disk failures. That's nice warranty and proud endorsement of their products. I wonder if that covers serious failures that cannot be recovered using a software like Data Warrior. However, their products seem to target more of audio post houses than video post houses...

On the related note, La Cie needs to mount serious R&D to improve their drives and marketing to improve their tarnished reputations. I'm not buying or recommending any La Cie drive in future.
