I have short films, projects that never got made, personal photos, ones of friends, clients, old family ones … i do some writing and store different documents. I want to have a Mari Kundo type hard drive.
Do you guys have any tips? Or some industry standard I’m not aware of?
Definitely like this and the hard drive replacement guidance. I’ve had bad luck when it comes to hard drives. I want to get a NAS setup and maintain my files better. Currently at a breaking point, my two laptops are full, I have two external hard rives that are unusable, one won’t read from a drop lost everything from 2007 to 2009 I keep it around hopping one day in afford to recover it. Then another hard drive that wiped and every time I format it it wipes and acts like a new hard drive. A third external that works but also full.
I have Gopro cloud and a full Google Photos. I just dont have the funds to upgrade, I was hoping Black Friday would be more forgiving but put the kids and wife first so my content creation remains on hold.
Well. In fact there are 2 paths. The first path is to go purely Cloud. It won’t cost that much (Google Drive 5Tb). Problem is working with Lightroom, and having grandfather-father-son type of backups. But this wil work for most people. I sure will.
Second is one system (like mine above, which is just my way of doing things), but be prepared for the cost (3 x HDD + some subscriptions + learning curve (Google Cloud Storage, Hyper Backup, etc…).
