So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets?

I see a WIDE variety of opinions on the new Beatles Box sets; both for the stereo and mono versions. Have you spent some quality time evaluating these? How good/bad are they? Should we run out and get both sets? What about releasing them on vinyl; is that going to happen?

SS drives also have a limited lifetime and a certain percentage will fail. There is no free lunch.

Hard drives continue to drop in price, currently around $100 for a Terabyte. I spend that much when I take my wife out to dinner. Personally I don't care if one crashes occasionally. I have backups and it is too cheap to worry about.

Nothing is reliable in the sense that it will never break. Its really pretty amazing that they work at all if you ask me. You can get programs that back up your data automatically. The only time spent is setting it up so you would spend less time doing that than complaining about hard drives here :>)

The first hard drive I contemplated buying was around 1985 and it held 5 megabytes for about $500 which would be about $1,000 in today's money. That is $200 a megabyte versus .0001 dollars a megabyte today.
