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?

    I’m hoping AI will help me in the future. Between multiple HDs, Laptops, cloud accounts, thumb drives, and boxes of slides and prints dating back to the 70s, this task seems daunting to say the least. Way to many backup of backups. And don’t even get me started on proprietary databases like iPhoto and Lightroom which Need to index and rebuild every time you try to open one.

      It doesn’t take long at all with the M series Mac’s. On windows I have no idea. Those are for playing video games and special programs that run on intel. Typically it takes 1200 photo Lightroom library about 3 seconds to load on my end. Maybe it’s not the drives. Maybe you need a M series mac. They are amazing for photography and video

          If you do absolutely get the higher GPU count. You will enjoy it if your shooting 5k-8k or have a sensor larger than 60 megapixels
