I am a video editor and am having some trouble storing the huge video files that I accumulate.
I have an 80GB harddrive, and a 250GB harddrive, both clogged with these huge (around 20GB) video files I use for editing.
My computer can handle one project at a time, which can amount to around 150GB of raw video, but storage is getting out of hand.
And I can't just delete these files, because sometimes the director comes back and wanted me to re-edit parts, which requires the raw video.
I already researched tape storage...but that is way too expensive (around $900 is the cheapest one that would fit my needs).
I would buy more harddrives...but I'm always scared they will crash, so what I want is a safe way to store these huge files without degrading the quality and without spending huge amounts of money. I have no money...so I would like to keep it under $500.
Any help?
