Used to be, back in the day, you had to issue a command to park the heads on hard drives. Now they do it upon shutdown. I just put it in the case it came in and put it in my backpack. I only bring it home from the office every couple of weeks or so or if I've got some images that I really don't want to lose. So I don't worry about it too much as long as you're not throwing it around...

My friend Bob Baron suggested that today also. It is a small PITA, but I think I will take that last external drive to the office and transport it back and forth. I wonder if there are any issues in carrying it around - maybe bubble wrap in my briefcase? Ken _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
