Re: Choosing external hard drives

Ben,

Are you looking for backup storage, or for online storage? The Drobo would be fine for backup but I wouldn't trust it to be my online editing storage. If the other unit you are looking at is cheaper than the Drobo then I would say the same thing for it. In this business you truly get what you pay for and with something as important as storage I don't think you want to go too cheap. Here are a few things to think about:

What type of footage are you editing?

How much storage do you need?

Can you lay off final versions to tape and archive that way?

If you are looking for reliable, fast online storage for your FCP system I would look at CalDigit, Dulce or G-Tech to name a few. Others here will have other suggestions.

K
