is a 2meg cache HDD ok for just storing pictures?

[computerABUSER]

Hey
I'm thinking about adding on another HDD but I thought I would check in here first to see if
a 2meg cache HDD is ok for just storing pictures, nothing else just to store my dSLR stuff!!

Actually, I didn't even think that they were still available

Regards,

perfect fine for basic storage. but if you do a lot of transferring back and forth, it will be a bit slower

not an issue, not even a lttle, for pictures.

That said, how big is it? how many pictures do you take?

a HD just for pics is a lotta space.

For just file storage is should be fine

no problems here with it. no need to go like these other users that use SATA 300 to store their stuff on

Both of current drives are 2 MB and I use them for everything so yes, they'll be fine for just pictures.

I should have some Raptors to replace them soon though. :thumbsup:

even a 5400rpm disk is fine for storage *pats Maxtor 250Gb 5400rpm/2mb 5000XT external drive*

Oh... (Has 86 Gb worth of pics). Maybe I should use DVDs insteadt
Them new dSLR cameras take some nice and big pictars + video. If you are really into photographing, 200Gb is nothing!
