    You might only pay for what you use, but you have to pay it monthly. If you have 100gb of stuff it is NOT cheap. You’re better off buying an external drive(s).

    If you want off-site, put the drive in your car.

    @UnderLoK: I believe you pay monthly for what you UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD, not use as storage. I'm pretty sure it's just bandwidth they're charging you for, not for the actual storage.

    Considering what Amazon did to copies of 1984 on Kindles, would you trust them with your data?

    @Iron Man Underoos: Amazon S3 is extremely reliable and has been around for awhile now. Comparing 1984 to their S3 service is getting a little carried away.

    @UnderLoK:

    Even if they were going to bother searching through your stuff, how would they know what was licensed or not? Besides, it's an encrypted archive.

    Even though I don't agree with Amazon's decision to delete the purchased books from people's Kindles, it's a vastly different situation. They were in the position of having sold files that were in violation of copyright. They were trying to minimize the damage. They don't have any compelling reason to start rifling through S3 customers files.

    @SysRq_: It's definitely not a Time Capsule killer because HP's MediaSmart servers don't actually recover Macs. It's a bit of smoke and mirror marketing... HP supports Time Machine for individual file recovery, but there's no network whole-OS recovery. I got burned by this by the EX485.

    In reply to Seagate Replica Is Time Machine for Windows PCs
    500GB is a grudgingly small capacity for "multi-computer". I understand they want to keep the form factor compact, but I'd go for at least 1TB.

    they are publishing for millions to read. you would have to be a moron to say windows 7 doesn't have a time capsule equivalent with shadow copy or at least to not mention shadow copy/ previous versions.


    this is definitely a situation that warrants name calling - they need to learn to wake up and do some research before they just start posting.

    @matt buchanan: I think you mean "not nearly as pretty" since having significantly less features than what Windows has built in hardly matches my definition of "slick". But, I certainly would not argue that the Time Machine interface is pretty and easy to use.

    What's with the terrible form factor? It would take up much less desk space if it could stand up. The rounded top means it's not even any good for stacking.

    Working for a few years as a warehousing manager I would not let those pallets ship. First they did tie at the bottom but when you go around the pallet you need to get all four corners at the bottom connect the product to the pallet, dumb just dumb… I should have told my boss I was an artist instead of just the manager I could have gotten paid a lot more..

    Imagine someone has been living with their deathclock sand timer for a couple of decades, and then some ambitious jerk comes along and has it flipped somehow while the person's asleep.


    I wonder how an old person would react to suddenly waking up to see so much time passed by.

    How did you get 81 years?


    I got 72 years.

    Pallet = 8 x 6 = 48

    18 Pallets = 18x 48 = 864 Bags of Rolex Sand

    1 bag = 30 days (say 1 month)

    so that is 864 months of sand

    864/12 = 72 years of sand

    Make sure you buy from a reputible dealer. I bought three bags, and the "R" and "X" came off, so now I only have a bag of "ole" sand from Mexico.
