About Once A Year Or So,

one of my 5 or 6 hard drives fails,


so this to me with no hard drive looks like a good idea, Goggles new own range of computers, the £279 Chromebox desktop and £379 Chromebook laptop, plus a new operating system, all under the Samsung label, it appears that they boot up in a matter of seconds, they ditch traditional software stored on the device such as Microsoft Office and Photoshop, instead, users go online to access word-processing and photo-editing software on “web apps” via Google’s web-based operating system Chrome, data is saved on Google’s servers in “the cloud” rather than on the computer’s hard drive, the other piece of good news is that you can keep your original screen, mouse and keyboard just buy the tower or the laptop,


now here is the downside, you need to be on the Internet and presumably have a good Internet connection, have a look here to see how where you live rates in the world league of 176 countries for household download speeds, this list was updated 2 days ago, but for me it seems to be the way to go, upload all of my hard drives and I never have to lose data or replace a hard drive, I wonder how much the cost of storage space would be? for a more detailed look at what is on offer have a look here, could this be the start of looking at hard drives in a different light just when non moving hard drives are hitting the market?
