The drive situation is not that dire. How could it be so hard to
install a 200G?
We do video editing and most of our computers have a couple of 250G
drives in a RAID giving 500gigs. Many of the new P4 motherboards have
the hardware built in. On PC the trick is to have new hardware and use
XP. If you are going this on a Mac, I don't the answer.
We also have lots of firewire external drives. Bought a great Maxtor
external firewire the other day for $300.00 for 300 gigs. Great drive.
This is another excellent solution for Macs as well as PC and you can
move your files to another computer.

Subject: [OM] Archiving Digital Images - was Re: Oh yeah, now I remember
The local imaging companies use 30MB files to store 35mm drum
scans (and are using DVDs to transfer scans). A roll of film creates
a need for over 1GB versus 2 plastic sheets holding 20 slides each.
The Raw file from an E-1 takes about 10MB which doesn't have
as much resolution as film. Long term it would seem necessary to
budget about 20-40MB per image.
Having spent most of the summer fighting an erratic disk failure each
time I tried to put a 250GB hard drive in my computer. I'm not
too keen to store images on two different hard drives and then transfer
all of that to the next generation (EIDE -> SATA or whatever) when
the computer needs to be replaced..
Has anyone found a good way to archive digital images? It seems
that the only reasonable choices are DVD or hard drives. I suppose
file compression could reduce the needs(?) but I don't see anything
comparable to a file cabinet full of plastic sheets ... ???
If film scanners become obsolete maybe the file cabinet will become
a major headache ... ???
TIA
