Tips on how to handle large digital files, the need to backup files, RAID arrays and related information

Unless you have a RAID system, there will never be enough hard drives on your desk. So how do you store 300 Gigabytes worth of files?

No staged shots here. This is an actual production studio for digital images. Seagate hard drives are trustworthy enough to handle the large files. Seagate Cheetah, 10,000 rpm, is the best. We also have a few of the older Barracudas as well. We tried everything from CD-ROM to all kinds of optical disks, Zip, Jaz, and everything else. If the individual files average 240 MB, you can hold only two or three per CD-ROM. A Zip will hold only half a file! Thus we recommend Pinnacle Micro. Their Apex can handle 4.6 GB per disk. As you can see, we have piles and piles of disks.
