Network-attached storage (NAS) is arguably one of the most versatile and accessible ways to store your most important data. While cloud services have become the "norm" for backup evangelists, a local backup method is vital for creatives dealing with massive volumes of photos daily.
TerraMaster says its new D5 Hybrid is the industry's first to combine two series of slots for both standard HDDs and M.2 NVMe SSDs to support both "hot and cold" storage.
TerraMaster says its new F4-424 Pro NAS (network attached storage) is "the most powerful 4-bay NAS to date" thanks to its 8-core 8-thread CPU, integrated GPU, 32GB of RAM, and dual M.2 NVMe slots for SSD caching.
Arrotrack Technology has announced a new fully customizable remote NAS cloud storage system called Storaxa.
LaCie has announced two new mobile hard drives, the LaCie Mobile Drive and LaCie Mobile Drive Secure that provide up to 5TB of portable capacity and universal support for PC, Mac, and iPad.
Drobo, one of the most popular brands for storage among photographers, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. While this doesn't mean the brand will disappear, it might be time to look for an alternative option just in case.
As cameras have rapidly evolved over the last decade, so have the requirements to get the most out of them. Specifically, what a photographer should care about when it comes to a computer has gone from simple, to somewhat complicated and often nuanced.
The topic of proper backup and storage strategies for creatives has been a heated debate for years. While there are a plethora of best practices to follow, arguably there is no "one size fits all" solution to cater to every photographer's needs.
Other World Computing (OWC) has announced the Mercury Elite Pro mini, a new bus-powered compact and portable storage drive that emulates the design of its larger desktop storage solution.
Western Digital (WD) has announced that following a series of vulnerabilities and security risks earlier this year, the company will drop support for any device not on its most recent operating system, only allowing them to receive local access.
G-Technology has been a mainstay brand for photographers for years, but was recently rebranded under SanDisk Professional. While the products now have a new name, has anything else changed?
A new report indicates that both solid-state drives (SSD) and hard drives (HDD) are in short supply. Combined with the global chip shortage, the issue will only add to the woes experienced by consumers and manufacturers alike.
Western Digital has unveiled new "next-generation technology" that promises to bring hard disk drive capacity to a whopping 40TB by 2025. That's a leap of about 300% in a span of around 7 years.
Seagate just announced its new 12TB BarraCuda Pro 3.5-inch hard drive, which becomes the world's fastest and highest-capacity desktop hard drive. If you're looking for massive storage on a single drive, this is a new option you may want to consider.
All of the drives we are using to store our precious photos and videos are not 100% reliable. Everybody should know that by now (and back everything up) but even if you are doing it properly, there are times when a drive fails and you have nowhere else to get its contents except from the drive itself.
As affordable drone cameras get better, one of the main issues confounding drone videographers is storage. When you're shooting at 4K that little microSD card fills up fast, which is why DJI teamed up with Seagate to create the Fly Drive: a portable 2TB hard drive complete with a microSD slot.
It happened. Seven months after announcing the planned acquisition and one quarter ahead of schedule, Western Digital has officially acquired SanDisk, "creating a global leader in storage technology."
What happens when ‘the cloud’ gets personal? According to Kwelea Inc., you end up with MBLOK. Deemed “one memory for all devices,” MBLOK is a pocket-sized SSD with integrated Bluetooth technology that allows you to store and access data from up to 7 mobile devices, all on the go.
In this post, I will share some of my techniques and experiences of backing up photos using a tablet while traveling.
Like most other landscape/nature/travel photographers, when I am on a multi-day or multi-week photo tour, I face the problem of backing up my photos from the memory cards. A laptop computer is a nature choice for most people. With a laptop, we can copy files between the memory cards, laptop disk drive, and external disks. We can even do some light editing.
