Re: Storage and Archiving
by Ramona Howard on Jun 19, 2008 at 5:24:13 am

Eric,

I would still go with a Raided solution, even if it is temp. The loss of any data can be painful and one that does not need to happen. OK so you loose one drive in the mix if you go with Raid5, at the cost of drives today it is a wise decision. If you can't afford to do that then I would simply look at LTO for achieve.

If you can go back to original material, then why archive this to begin with? If you are talking about archiving any work in progress, then RAID will be your friend but in that scenario, the EDLs are far more important than the content and these should be looked at the most valueable assets (as long as you can go back to original content).

75TB is nothing these days for a large facility and I guarantee they are running it in Raid so if your going this route please consider that.

Just because parts are "cheap" the solution may not be. Choose wisely, otherwise you are simply playing Russian Roulette with your livelihood.

my .02 cents,
Ramona
