Mass File Storage

[paul_ingram]

<p >Last month I posted a question about bigger and more reliable storage for my growing files of event photos. One of the posts mentioned burlystorage.com. I ended up calling them (they answer the phone in Idaho) and having very informative discussions with Brian their PC guy (they also have a Mac guy.) I now have an array of five 1.5 terabyte drives in three volumes, with a very fast connection to my motherboard. I’m not a computer guy so Brian spent time with me on the phone setting up the drives. He also suggested a few back-up softwares to look at. He even returned a call when he was home sick. I have gotten rid of a desk full of external hard drives and am setting up redundant back-up routines. My computer is faster now with all those USB devices gone. Great company. </p>

<p>I run a RAID 1 array that is only used to store data. My OS is on a different drive. This works well for me, but I haven't setup off-site backup yet.</p>
