Evening Reading: What Are You Playing?
by Brian Leahy, Apr 02, 2010 5:00pm PDTIt's Friday! What are you guys playing this weekend? First, you should be listening to Episode 2 of Weekend Confirmed. Then, play what you will!
Personally, I'll be playing more StarCraft II beta, of course. After that, I think some Just Cause 2 is in order followed by some more Super Street Fighter IV!

These huge RAW images are getting out of hand and I need a method to safely store them away for backup. I'm thinking of just picking up a few SATA hard drives and filling them up and putting them away. I will have a copy of these photos on my computer drive as well of coarse. How safe is this method? How long does a modern hard drive last? What methods do you use?
I will be googling this but would like to hear you opinions as well.
Thanks!

Storage is damn cheap now adays, buy yourself a TB or two (you can get them for like ~$80 now) and just keep the files.
Also, after you finish a shoot and upload, go through in bridge and Control+6 (mark red) anything you know you probably wont want at all (shots where the flash didn't sync/model was making awkward face/super blurry shots that you know arent recoverable in any artistic way) and mark everythign that you really like with Control+8 (green).
Then go through and delete stuff that you dont want. This works especially well if you're trigger happy.
I have ~1.3TB of storage, about 100G is games, 200G is movies/music, 500G is free, the other 500G are currently all photos (and I didn't start shooting RAW till about two years ago). I will be buying another TB of storage soon.
