Hi,
I can't get past the fact that in the cloud I would be entrusting

I'm with Bill, I still use external drives for backups for the same reason,
but am tempted with the cloud
Maybe our worries are unfounded ? Do the cloud systems back up the data (on
external hard drives, :-) ?

On Fri,
Hi,
I have moved comments with interested people regarding backups and
clouds, etc off list. I got into this thread because I too was getting
intolerable interference form a desktop computer power supply. All the
rest moved quickly off topic.
On another note, I have had an opportunity to sniff
I don't know about you, but we have data that is far too important not to
make multiple backup copies ourselves. Think about whether you are willing
to take a of risk losing it all because the cloud had a glitch or closed
their doors.

Don't be too quick to give up on the idea of solid state drives
I then unplugged the power to the SSD and the garbage was still there.
So I conclude that its my motherboard making the garbage when I boot using
the SSD!?
SSD's draw substantially less power than a mechanical/rotating hard drive.
All mechanical drives draw off the +12V rail; SSD's generally

Last month I began a computer up-grade process at home and work by using solid
state drives (SSD) in both laptop and desktop systems. The upgrades have been
very successful providing a significant performance increase and extended
battery life.
The last upgrade was my ham shack desktop system
Don't be too quick to give up on the idea of solid state drives, Greg.
I know several active hams who have had these installed for some time
without any of the problems you experienced. There's no logical reason
why these drives should be any more or less noisy than any other memory

I was distracted for a week trying to recover a lost disk but I put the SSD
in place again yesterday. This time I wrapped the SSD in aluminium foil and
put 2 clamp on cores on the SATA cable. I fired up my system, and the extra
measures had no noticeable improvement on the birdie situation. The

Usually that isn't a good solution. Running a series of tests to locate the
point of leakage is usually faster and better.

Your aluminum foil fix possibly eliminates direct radiation (from the SSD) as
the noise source, but says nothing about conducted noise from the power cord
(or other cables going in and out) of the desktop system.
If SSDs impose totally different current (pulse) requirements on the
I'm not disagreeing with anyone, but it is important to re-enforce how
things really behave and what actually causes problems.
Most RF noise escapes from equipment as current flowing on wiring,
