Smart Disk by Bason Computer

I recently purchased a 60GB "Smart Disk" sold by Bason Computer. These are so small that they are ideal for taking backups from the office to an off - site storage. This is an essential procedure for a paperless office. The cost was around $110. That is not much more expensive than some tapes used in tape backup systems.

The bad news is that on one Windows 2000 Pro machine, the system would not recognize it.

On the other machine, the backup stopped because the disk was formatted as FAT32. FAT32 did not allow for a large enough file size. The solution would have been to convert the drive to NTFS. The drive would not format using NTFS.
