All I know is 3000 Gigs of data is a lot to loose when it dies. I can't imaging using or even loosing that much data. My server uses two 150 Gig drives and they are not even full

I have about 1TB of my own photos now, I can imagine that'll be about 3TB in a year or so. It's useful to have the lot on HD, as well as burned to DVD for back-up. I could probably use a blu-ray burner as well, to make backing up easier and quicker. |

it would be better for you to use a 3TB drive for a backup. I bet that would take 24hrs to back up. that is a lot of photos. What Resolutions and files sizes do you work with on photos? Do you use JPG or TIFF?

I shoot RAW + JPEG @ 10 mega-pixels, but have a new body on the way which is 18 mega-pixels, and does HD video. So, no doubt I'll have a load of video filling up my drive as well. |
| ||||
ah, RAW... I forgot about that. Is RAW as uncompressed as TIF? Yeah, HD videos is totally going to fill up your capacities. Do you have a good audio system for sound?

RAW is the data directly from the CMOS sensor, and contains more information than a TIFF file would. I'll most likely buy a mic at some point. |
| ||||
ah, gotcha. I have never messed with RAW because I don't do professional photography, but its nice to know something is higher quality that a TIF. Let me know if you need some help choosing a microphone. I have recorded instruments and have some knowledge of microphones. Are you going to use a portable digital audio system?
