[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 819733, member: 50197"] Well, I ended up dithering about what to get and then got distracted by a new camera. All to my undoing. Yesterday after a very unexciting photo outing, I was downloading images using the new CFexpress card reader I have. To increase speed, I unplugged my keyboard/mouse dongle, and plugged in my reader. While clumsily using the mouse pad (I avoid them like the plague), I managed to delete all the images on my hard drive with just one click. I thought I could easily recover them using restore from the recycle bin, but it was only a small number, and that undoubtedly removed the possibility of undeleting them using utility software. I should know better. Fortunately, I had been, mostly, keeping up with backing up my edited images to thumb drives. I got back all the important files except for most of the Swan Lake outing. I can live with losing the NEF files, reluctantly. Anyway, I closed the door after the horse got out, and bought an SSD drive. It's only 2TB, but I can use that until it's full, by then the drives should be cheaper and larger capacity. I will be needing more capacity with the new camera, but I can afford to be more ruthless deleting unsuitable images out of hand, something I haven't been doing much of out of laziness. [/QUOTE]
