Oops, another one bites the dust

Yeah, pretty awesome: about one year after I needed to redo my home automation server, the then new (bought back in January 2011) USB stick died. Again. Seems like these memory devices are just crap, not to be trusted at all :-( Will now replace the memory Stick by a full blown (external) harddrive, converted to an USB disk via external adaptor (second image).
