Wednesday I found that London Drugs sells only USB connected compact drives now. No more internal drives. No more internal in an external case. Also they sell Verbatim DVD-R in 100 packs. ~50 $/100 and ~60 $/100 depending on packaging. Other formats in smaller numbers/package at a higher price.

Keeping in mind for purchase of fresh media. With the small quantity of data here, might be a few years off.

By the time I need more media, DVD disks might too obsolete to bother with. Thanks for the help, ... P. -- mobile: +1 778 951 5147 VoIP: +1 604 670 0140 48.7693 N 123.3053 W
