A question: Most of my recording is now 4 four or six channel 96/24 and currently, I back up from the recorders to bare hard drives via an eSATA docking station, which means that I have an every-increasing pile of hard drives, as I back up every thing important twice. I’ve pretty much standardised on 2TB drives; a mixture of Seagate and Western Digital (I keep telling myself that it’s cheaper than a reel of 1” Ampex 456, but at the rate that I’m piling the drives up, it’s still a bit daunting.)
Although this system works pretty well, and I use DiskTracker to keep a record of what’s where, It does mean that I just have a shelf full of 3.5” hard drives, which is a) a bit messy and b) a bit of a risk. The cloud is an option - or at least it will be once I get my super-duper-whizzy even faster Virgin upgrade, but even at the current upload rate of 10 MB, a full drive takes days to upload and then it’s not exactly quick to get it back. Given that I don’t have an educational establishment with huge servers, anyone got any reasonably-priced suggestions for storage?
