I have a 1 TB, 1.5 TB, and a 3 TB active, and a 10TB drive for backup. I have another 10TB drive for video storage.

I put a 1TB as second hard drive and store all my photos there. When it's full I swap it for another.

Double or single sided?
Dang, I completely forgot about double sided. I could have kept a few more of my crummy images.

smart idea !
I am going to limit my files to 25,000.
Too much junk. No one will ever need to look at more than 25,000 in their lifetime !

1 Tb internal, 1 Tb external, and a few also stored on a 256 mb thumb drive. I've been considering an M drive - their discs very long term durability being appealing. Anyone use one?

My D drive holds all my data. It's a 4TB HGST Ultrastar that's 37% full. I use a couple of 3TB external drives to backup seven folders of data. I use a pair of 3TB drives in a NAS. I also have half a dozen drives from old computers that I use as redundant backups.

I have 2 2TB Syslogic drives upon which I keep everything related to my photography - not just images, using Raid 1. Backed up to a 4tb Seagate drive using GoodSync
