I would not use any type of removable winchester storage for data too valuble
to lose. That goes for floppies, zip cartriges, and anything else that
contains a rotating, flexible platter. By their very nature these devices are
mechanically unreliable. If you want reliability, use tapes or CD-RW (which
is actually pretty cheap now).

Failing that, I suggest you find the most expensive type available and go with
that. Also, I would avoid any product made by Verbatim.
