Re: Storage and Archiving
by Bob Zelin on Mar 22, 2008 at 7:02:11 pm

your analysis is correct. Todays drives won't run on anything 10 years from now. FW800 drives are ok for temporary storage (and they are cheap), and Blu Ray is good for archiving finished shows, but there is no great solution, and there may never be a great solution, because the buss structure becomes obsolete.

I will give you a simple stupid example on my own backup on this little computer I have here. I have a "backup" internal drive, but it's an "old" HP xw4100. Starting with the xw4200 and newer (4400, etc.) they no longer use ATA interface connectors for the drives, but SATA. So how will I get this info onto another computer if it dies. I have backup CD's of the important info, but of course, CD's are small. Same analogy for video media. FW800 in 10 years will be considered a joke, just like Iomega ZIP drives are considered a joke today. I dont' know what the long term solution is.
