Yes I know I have a ton of photos from way back that are real close to being the same shot. Back when I started shooting, especially my sport shots I was using a Nikon D7000 and it would shoot up to 6 fps. They would add up real quick. I wasn't real good at culling shots back then. Going to start right away. I already did some from way back though, as I had about 23,000 I had on my old windows machine. I brought them over to my Mac. I went through and did sone post work and culled some, probably needs more though. Thanks

Like your questions. Gave me an opportunity to think about what I do. My answers are numbered 1-12 with no simple yes or no at times. My first real camera was a Kodak Medalist 2, which I still have, back in the 50s (back in the 1950s).
1. No
2. No
3. Yes - Mostly
4. Yes, but mostly use a very good 3-footed monopod
5. No
6. Yes - using 2 SSDs
7. Yes - SoSo
8. Only on UHH
9. Yes - Mostly
10. Yes - Canon M50 Which I love. (Also still shoot my T6i)
11. Yes (and NO)
12. No (No longer have a DR for developing B&W and E6)

Here are my answers for what they are worth. Photography to me is very personal - all mine. Although I do value the opinions of others.

PS Thank you for your reply several says ago.

I have one comment only - RAID is not a backup, which you'll come to realize when two drives fail, as can happen in disaster.

Raid 5 system I have at work has online hot spare - yes two drives can fail, as long as don't happen simultaneously!

By the way - it has been running 24x7 for over 10 years and no failures!

The point is a RAID is not designed for backup and it’s overkill for a backup. A RAID either mirrors the data, not as a backup but so that if one drive goes down the system can stay live and still have access to the data. Or the data is “striped” across the drives for faster access. Or there’s a combination of mirroring and striping. This is what RAID 5 does, it stripes the data and each drive has a parity block of another drive that can be used to rebuild the data if a drive goes down.

Just commenting that a raid system can survive two drive failures!

I know how a raid system works...
I ordered the components ( HP Server, serial sata drives ) loaded the server operating system, and configured the server, it is Raid 5 with a online hot spare...
Been working without any failures for over ten years!

I figured that since you’re running RAID 5 you probably know how it works. I was just expounding on it for the other guy that was using RAID for backup.

So what is a RAID system and what does it do? (A back up system? It sound like that is not its primary usage??)

None of the Effing above. You ought to take up a hobby. Most of us have our own goals and motivations and have managed our lives to successful outcomes for a very long time. Hall monitor not needed.
