Pismo File Mount allows you to mount ZIP files and CD images as folders. The files can be mounted ‘read-only’ or as ‘read write’ files. You can thus access the content without having to burn CD’s or extract a zip folder. This can also be useful if you want to preserve your CD/DVD media but still be able to access their content. Pismo File mount offers a lot many features besides these. Let’s have a look:
High quality CDs and DVDs have a lifetime of up to 30 years, while cheap blanks may fail after less than five years. Hence, hard disks, which are said to become error-prone after three to five years, may be less durable and reliable.
However, it’s much easier to transfer data from a hard drive, to date the capacity is much bigger, and when dealing with a mass of data, hard drives are of course cheaper, way faster and much more convenient to use for backups.
