ooohh the goodness of 200GB HD

Filled up a Maxtor 250GB with HD movies/documentaries in about 10 days. :frown: Paid $69.50+tax at Staples early this month.

I remember when I got my first 200gb HD along with 7 others. 1.27tb in RAID 5 was a lot of storage in 2003.
 
Not for raw storage space. A 200gb HD has 186gb formatted capacity... what's the formatted capacity of a Raptor? You didn't specify size, so I'm going to ass-u-me a 74gb.... which would probably lose around 4-6gb, so 68/70gb formatted, for 136 to 140gb total? And that's only if they're RAIDed. So it's fast, but he can store more stuff. 😛
 
The real questions are how much storage you have including CD-Rs and DVD-Rs, and whether or not a hard drive failure would mean OMGWTFBBQ :shocked: or "Dang, there's $50-$100 down the drain" while you restore from backup 😉

DVD backups of everything, in two locations.
We burn DVD's twice for every job, once as we move data off the cards we back up all the original files (two sets) and again once we have our edited and tweaked files. if we ever loose a drive we probably wouldn't even bother restoring all the data it originally had one it, we'd still have the DVD's on file and another copy as backup. We'd probably just put the active jobs back on. and the Seagates have a 5 year warrantee so we wouldn't be out any money at all, just several hours.

Probably about 2 terabytes or storage at least.
This is for a photography business - lotsa photos, and big ones, too.
 
current 200+200+74+74+300+120 = 968GB
new 320+320+250 = 890GB
old 80+80+80+80+80 = 400GB
(all built for video editing)
