I've got several related issues that may have a single solution:
I've got about 4.5TB of raw PEFs on two drives. Both drives are
starting to get full.
I'm very tempted to convert my library of raw files from PEF to DNG.
Larry, here is my setup, for whatever it is worth. Storage is a simple
Unix box (some flavor of Fedora if I ain't mistaken) with gigabit
network adapter. My main PC (whose configuration in terms of processing
power is unimportant) has two network adapters - one (100 MB) for
networking and another (1 GB) connects directly to the storage. All my
RAW (PEF or DNG) files are on the storage while the catalog is on the
main PC. The LR is set so that whenever it exits it prompts me to backup
my catalog to the storage which I do every now and then according to
taste. Another valid point here I think is that my main PC has SSD for
its main disk, so it is pretty fast.
Presently I am at about 1/5th of your total volume or may be it is
1/6th. I am having about 0.8 TB of RAW files and about 1 GB big catalog.
As a matter of further precaution I backup my network drive to a
portable HDD.
Boris
