Re: Pease Share Your MultiMedia Storage Strategies?

I estimate my digital content to be growing at about 100GB/yr. Blame it on a growing collection of RAW, MP3, MPEG-2, and AVI files. As well as a desire to host my own website.

I currently use only WinXP/NTFS but I can envision adding a Mac to the LAN at some point, and I'm not opposed to rolling my own, say, Linux server (although
I'm concerned about the increased maintainance efforts of a mixed-mode environment)

Any suggestions? What are *your* strategies?

Leave the DV video on the original camera tapes.
Write the DSLR images to DVDR discs and "refresh" (re-write)
them every 2-3 years. I do NOT trust hard drives for long-term
archival storage. Unless you want to run a server farm in your garage with fully redundant (RAID) arrays, etc.
