Optic Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) My current setup is a 120 GB SSD and two 1 TB HDDs. Working on all the galleries lately I've noticed my HDD space is rapidly running out. I like to have the DVDs in lossless format which allows much faster frame seeking. ^_^Of course then that results in insanely large file sizes such as 278 GB for all the Digimon Frontier DVDs deinterlaced... I would like to do the same for the Gundam SEED Blurays (which will hopefully ship next week. Just waiting on one box out of the four to be in stock from their end) so I'll most likely need a new HDD as shown below: How is your storage going on your machines? Files are getting larger these days. Edited October 7, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taalen Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 As per school rules I have absolutely no files on this Macintosh whatsoever and I've backed up every single meaningless 100kb word file to a usb... -cricket chirping- <.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 That's awfully strict, I wonder what the reasoning behind that is? We don't have such a rule seeing as we wipe them clean with a reimage when they get returned. And secondly how would they enforce that anyway? :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taalen Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 They don't, it's an overly ridiculous rule. The reasoning, probably something along the lines of "we don't want you breaking Macbooks with the potentially dangerous viruses you get from saving Word files to your documents". I know, it'd be so much simpler just to wipe them with clean slates, I find constantly moving things to USB tedious and useless. Also, there's a high tendency to damage USB ports because we're 13-17 year old kids who are just prone to these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Does your school offer network storage? We offer network storage for our students (home drive) that can be accessed whilst at school and they can access it remotely via a web interface which I think is quite handy!

chiefyamaki Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Mine's a 500GB HDD. Pretty good compared to the 20GB HDD oin the computer back at my hometown...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 If you ever need more storage for video editing, USB 3 is fast enough for a decent scratchspace. By that I mean if you have archived some source footage and just want to drag and drop from your external that will work well (assuming of course you're connected to a USB 3 port). Going through all my Anime DVD and Blurays on HDDs is great for making screenshots but rapidly running out of storage again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerauko Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 So much space... I have a 300gig external (faithfully with me for so long...) and an 1TB internal HDD. The former is half empty (I have quite narrowed down what I want to use it for), the latter is pretty much full, but I'm still comfy on it.
