Yeah, try $1690 to recover 300 GB of family pictures and movies. I
now use a NAS storage device with enough space to put the house in,
and for extra percaution I got a safe deposit box for additional
backup. I know what you mean and backup is most important. I sent
you why I needed or think I need to re-format the thumb drive in a
earlier post.

Hi all, I don't usually contribute on here, so thanks for allowing
me to do
so. Anyway, from a general computing point of view, you should
*only* format
any media, including thumb drives, hard drives, etc, if the file
system
becomes seriously corrupted. True, it erases all the data, but
unless you
can fork out money for data recovery, you might as well lose data
to get
your media working proper again. Just some thoughts there.

Subject: Re: Formatting my thumb drive using my Mac
I have not had to reformat or erase my Kingston thumb drive yet.
All I do is
'command+a' to select all, then hit the delete key and I have a
clean thumb
drive with the original amount of space on it. Have been doing
this for
about 3 years now and it always seem to work for me.
