are toshiba portable hard drives good image

I have a Toshiba 160 GB portable hard drive and the Lexar memory sticks. The hard drive hums when pluged in. Which one will last the test of time? I want to put copies of all my pictures and some important files in the safe deposit box.
hard drives have moving parts and memory sticks don't. why are they better?

Answer
I have a back up drive that is separate from my computer we store lots of pictures, personal information and copies of contracts and such, another way is to store it on a digital photo frame you can get a SD card as big as 4 GB to store like 3000 pictures on it, if you have more than that get several frames.

As far as your question about memory sticks versus hard drive, the hard drive will be better, it is more of a permanent storage solution that will hold more memory, easily accessible and under normal use will last longer than a memory stick.

I have a Toshiba Portable Hard Drive. Can someone help me here?

OK I recently bought the above mentioned product (the 140 gig model). I accidently clicked "Safely Remove Hardware" and the Hard Drive deal was removed, I also have reason to believe that the computer got rid of the "Removable Disk" that was required to detect the Portable Hard Drive.

I've been purchasing a lotta music lately and I need to be able to store it on my Toshiba.

Anyone know what happened here and what to do?

Answer
Actually 'Safely Remove Hardware' is the safest way to remove the hard disk. It shouldn't cause any problems. Just reconnect the hard disk and the autoplay should pop up.

If that doesn't work then go to Start > type in autoplay and press enter. Then go to the bottom of the window and click on restore to default.
