Mr Sim Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Will HiMDs be the next thing villans will be moving their secret files with in the next James Bond movie. High capacity discs immune to being erased by a fridge manget kept in a scrach protecting case. or are HiMDs from your local retailer flimsy and unreliable.I've heard many stories about people having issues with store bought HiMD discs that turn into ten dollar costers straight out of the package.I've never dropped mine but does anyone know how strong the casing is?In your experience would you say that HiMd is the next logical step in safe data transportation.

And more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 USB drives are far more compact as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xispe Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 i believe Hi-MD is no safe at all for data transportation. My one and only 1gb disc just refuses to work above the 700 mb mark. NICE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 No problems with my discs. One included and 9 bought from a local Saturn outlet (Has nothing to do with Saturn cars)No problems at all, except the upload trouble with SonicStage 2.2 and earlier.But that's not a disc problem, as 2.3 seems to have fixed that for me.On reformatted standard discs, I had one with a hole in the recording layer and a few Memorex, which behaved a bit flaky - All others had no problems at all, regardless of age and capacity.

SlowMo Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 no not-working disk for me as well..i drop disks periodically due to not paying attention, even dropped some intentionally, since i found the new casings stupid, and found out that the Hi-md's aren´t that safe in their keepings and loosely tangle around inside the case after dropping..but they all still work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
