What are you guys using to store your massive caches of data (looking at you Coligny.....owner of the world's most comprehensive Yua Aida database and movie gallery) and other such assery? I can't be the only one supporting Buffalo's external drive division.

You'll need to purchase 4 2TB hard disks. If you boot the OS off of a USB memory key, you'll get the full 8 TB if you JBOD or RAID-0 them together

Very very very true but besides hoarding, I seem to be accumulating data at a much faster rate than I can view/use/delete. For example, I am videoing my games with 2, soon to be 3 video cameras in 30fps HD...30GB, soon to be 45GB per game. As I described, it's getting a bit crazy.

They are both pricey, and many reviews have remarked on the software that comes with it as well as the "vendor-approved" hard disk list for ReadyNAS, and in the end, for best performance, setup and usability, the Synology DS212j or DS212 looks to be a winner.

Linux software RAID isn't difficult to set up, and it isn't dependent on underlying RAID hardware, so the disks can be moved to another system without any problems.

i think watch and delete is a good one but some of this stuff is worth hanging onto for a while
for your own content - I would consider using something like mpeg stream clip and batch encoding this stuff down to h.264 ~1300 k/s - if its self generated stuff, unless its gorgeous, you could probably get away with dropping to 720 also, as blown up on your tv or projector, that will still look similar and have less need for harsher compression.
what kind of games are you filming?

GomiGirl wrote:No - these are just a more efficient use of space than having daisy chains of Lacie or Buffalo external harddrives.
These are not servers, just storage arrays in a single box that has up to 4 HD's installed. Will take up less space on your desk than now.
