      Well I was kinda referring more to us 'bedroom producers' that go to all the trouble of hanging duvets and blankets around the place before recording but then still have a noisy HD or CPU fan impinging on the recording!

      I totally agree otherwise. And yes, my low-mid budget Zoom portable recorder has a 32gb SD card and superb battery life.

                          Do you guys wait for your computer to completely die before buying a new one? Or proactively replace as the device reaches end of life?

                            Replace, the SSD has made my 2010 MBP feel like new. I seriously cannot recommend this upgrade enough, my MBP was basically a paperweight and now it runs like a dream, and the fan has not kicked in once since I upgraded either.

                              Unless you back shit up it's pretty reckless to go with the former.

                                Doug, I cycle hardware through. I try refresh every 2 or so years and give my old model, still in good shape, to a family member either free or at a low price. The rising tide raises all boats approach. And backup ALL The time, on-site, off-site and to the cloud!

                                  I upgraded the hard drive twice and the battery twice on my mid 2010, and backup monthly. I rely on my computer too much for day to day stuff to risk not having one, so I'm of the thinking to upgrade before the hardware finally shits the bed

                                  Snowy, what do you use for offsite and cloud backup?

                                    @DougNg I use backblaze https://www.backblaze.com/. $5/month, unlimited backup and restore. Native OSX app, multiple restore points, can get a HDD shipped from them if you need a large restore etc.

                                    And their hardware design for backup is open sourced, which is very cool too;

                                      I do spot restores from them to verify they're writing real data, 100% so far, obviously.

                                        Backblaze is cool, love their appliance. I use a local provider though, Crashplan. RAID NAS headed by Mac Mini HTPC replicates to Crasplan in the cloud. If I need my shit I can pay them a visit with a hard drive or an array.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          yeah they're all pretty good at that level (carbonite's another one). Awesome they're physically local to you! Have you popped in to test it out / check out their office? :).

                                          I've read about a few more data integrity issues with crashplan than with backblaze over the years, which is why I've kept with backblaze…..

                                            That may be with their peer to peer platform. I use a standard replication. Haven't visited but I found out last weekend I know their CFO
