True, as you know, a "carrier-grade environment" can be pretty bad. I might as well ask, What is the MTBF after being exposed to the UPS shipping environment. Historically, the reason why I've tried to keep rotating storage media out of my critical POP equipment it requires too much maintenance. I'm old enough to remember routers with evil boot floppies. For non-critical stuff, like billing and accounting servers, rotating media is fine (speaking as a network geek, not an accounting geek). But maybe these microdrives are tough enough. I'm open to changing my mind.
