I have a two uses for this. Submersable data storage and shock resistant storage.

It's not going to be useful for any sort of performance releated task.

Only SOme times.. Capacity is more important in other circumstances...
Unless you feel like going back to the days of 2Gb hard drives that cost $500

Magnj > No worries mate, that mistake is easily made. Just PM a mod (Perky?) and ask that the thread's name will be changed in the News section. ;)
