Hi!
Pro large CF:
If you go hiking, weight is important.
Without the drive it's one less gadget to manage. And recharge batteries for.
Con large CF:
If it fails, you're miserable.
Price.
Price.
And price...:-(
I'd say the cons outweigh the pros.
That's my man!!!
If the hard drive fails, you replace it and it won't burn a big hole
down your pocket...
Also, unlike cards, when HD fails it is still possible to recover most
of its contents. I had few HD failures on me (Late IBM hard drives were
prone to controller burn out) and I witnessed the data recovery
procedure. Painful and time consuming, yet resultative.
Jostein, how's that portable HD that you bumped in the car doing? ;-)
