[Leica] Lightroom question

[abridge at mac.com (Adam Bridge)]

This is the route I have chosen, Nathan.

I have a Thunderbolt external drive that I export to, then import from on my 
dekstop system. Everything moves across, both systems are happy.

I have started to worry about data integrity. A few dropped bits in the 
wrong part of an image file and you have garbage. The Mac isn?t particularly 
good for that. And the ?cloud?? Who knows what sort of software is running 
up there? Do they really care? We can?t know.

I keep hoping that Apple will get religion, adopt or create something like 
ZFS and put ECC memory in all their machines showing they DO care about my 
data.

In the meantime I have started computing check-sums for my images and saving 
those. It doesn?t consume a lot of time although it?s just extra book 
keeping.

Maybe I?m paranoid.
