Last week, I was pondering growing pains in storage requirements.
Working with my son, the Systems Analyst, I have, hopefully, solved the
problem for some time to come.
I purchased a WD My Book external drive of 8TB, connected with USB 3,on
sale at Best Buy. With that in place, I moved all of the photo files
that I will likely access to a folder on that drive. Then I cleaned up
my eSATA backup drive and the C: drive. I now have plenty of space for
large photo files, system files and adequate space for system backups.
Photo backups are done periodically to bare hard drives.
The only lesson-learned in the process was this. If you decide to run
the Windows Disk Cleanup utility, DO NOT check the box to clean up
Windows Updates. That process failed, and it took 10 hours for the
system to restore 2 years of Windows Update files.
Here is the Systems Analyst at work, an image done to check out the new
system:
