But if the hyperdrive wasn't so good (succumbed to a drop test, had a bad day) then the cards would have been a lifesaver. Murphy's Law usually applies to me. In the last year (since I've had a laptop), I haven't had to go away for long enough to run out of card space without having my laptop and backup hard drive for transferring - I have two copies this way. I guess by now I have about 10gb of card space. Five years ago that would have cost a fortune but not the case these days. Solid-state cards can handle all sorts of abuse, don't take up hardly any room and weigh next to nothing. Pretty much ideal for traveling.
