soundtrane Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Finally got a Smartstor multi-bay hard drive enclosure and populated it with 4 x 2 TB hard drives. RAID 5 gives me 6 TB of data-protected space. Now i can have ALL my music, films, SFX libraries, recordings in one place.... -vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to work for Cinesite/Hollywood in late 2001, our entire department had 7TB' worth of drives, and the chief engineer told me they cost $1,500,000. Now, you can get faster, better drives for 1% of that! Drive space is one of those things you can't have too much of... like being "too rich" or "too beautiful." --Marc W.

soundtrane Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Mark, absolutely, sometime (not too soon i hope!) I will be in need of more! 900$ is what this cost... Richard, it's not a NAS, it is a DAS - direct to computer by Firewire 800. If i had a Mac Pro instead of an iMac, it could be eSATA... -vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
