EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi:

I will be purchasing the EXS24 mk II sampler soon so I don't have any
experience with it yet. I'm contemplating buying the 750 MB Zip Drive
as another back up of audio files and samples (CD-R being the other). 

I've used Zip technology for years. Is the 750 MB as stable as past
drives?

What are the sizes of samples in general? I read about someone with 9
GB of samples ready to burn to DVD. I know there are a lot of samples
to convert. I have an EMU collection on CDs to convert. Any advice on
how to think ahead on managing back up of the sample library, project
management of audio files, etc. Is it worth it to buy the ZIP 750 MB,
nearly the same size as CD-R? I want multiple back ups.

What are you folks doing?

Thanks.
