RAID Storage For Photographers and Videographers | Lacie 2big Review

[@RudyVisuals]

What's your current workflow for backing up your work? Let us know 👇

[@handansaber6019]

I recommend anyone who doesn't need to move from machine to machine, to simply buy two cheap sata drives and setup raid 1 using windows disk management.

[@juliuslinus1161]

RAID with two internal drives!

[@sarag4187]

The opening skit was too awesome! 🤣🤣

[@retrogamerz9576]

It really was!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

we appreciate all these parodies and shorts you've been doing recently! your channel, your rules! right? we enjoy it, and it seems you enjoy doing it too! 😃

[@kavi6813]

That intro was amazing!

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks! 😁

[@StanligFilms]

another good review Rudy!

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks again!

[@anhngocquy3759]

Very useful technology, all companies should use this for vital documents and files in my opinion. Great review Aaron and have a wonderful week my dear!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

stupid question: why not SSD? price? not enough capacity?

[@RudyVisuals]

There are SSD raid docks out there as well but they're not as common I think mostly due to SSD's at that storage capacity being too expensive still. From what I've read there are some issues with using SSD's in raid as well.

[@lolliang6620]

I was not expecting an intro like that for a video about hard drives !!

[@JohnPaulSeeTravelFilms]

i needed that big storage for backups! haha.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

as video editor (on laptop (MacBoo) and travelling) I assume I need external drives. first we carried a couple of HDD of 1tb each. Now we use those Sandisk Extreme portable SSD and no problem at all! they are great! of course, at home or in a studio, raid is the way! 😉

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks for the comments! In your case for travel and just for filming YT videos, yeah a RAID dock is overkill. Unfortunately with high resolution 10bit cameras, the file sizes are so huge you kinda need waay more storage capacity and my day job requires me to have backups of everything. It's really inconvenient but a neccesary evil :(

[@Traveler_Greg]

Very useful storage gear. Great review. Greetings and best wishes. 👍

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks for stopping by :)

[@BRILIANT660]

Hello friend good afternoon full watched here and no skip New friend Thank you for great sharing Nice big review and you nice people to sharing here

[@mariaandbryan]

I cannot stop laughing with this video, love the intro, and the comments comparing things hahaha And this video cannot be any better for us. This is awesome for us, you know how devastated we were after the summertime. Good thing we travel in the van now, because we def would not be able to carry those on our backpacks lol

[@RudyVisuals]

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope at the very least you guys are backing up all your stuff in multilple places just to be safe!!

[@mariaandbryan]

@@RudyVisuals we are. We always do, but with the footage that has been used and not with new footage, that was out biggest mistake during the summer

[@TanTansConcoction]

Funny intro 😁👏 i dont know about this, i usually external hard drive 😁 Thank you for sharing this one. I think i really need that one 😊

[@RudyVisuals]

You're welcome 😊

[@handansaber6019]

Great and very informative video. I use two sata drives and setup raid 1, you can do it simply with windows disk management but like you say, it's not portable solution. I had a hard drive wiped from a bad torrent download a few years ago and learnt my lesson the hard way to always back up everything.

[@sarag4187]

I've always heard of RAID and NAS but never really understood what they were. I learnt something new today so thanks! I'll have to stick with a regular usb hard drive for now since my photography is not super important, just a hobby.

[@RudyVisuals]

Glad you found it useful :D

[@pilotthepirx4765]

Very useful stuff to know

[@moniquen8641]

I defiinfely know the pain of having multiple ext hd's and never remembering what is in what!

[@kavi6813]

I've been researching this topic for a few months now but I've heard mixed things about Lacie in general. Thanks for the review. My main concern would be with the noise and of course the price too.

[@RudyVisuals]

You're so welcome!

[@jonashylo9173]

I have a drawer full of old usb hard drives. I think one is from 2008 and is a whopping 100gb. I have been wanting to adopt a system like this for my own design projects as well as my hobby video work so this was very useful to see. Shame everything has to be so expensive but I guess it's cheaper than losing all your work.

[@RudyVisuals]

Yes absolutely agree. The initial cost is worth it in the end compared to losing your files forever.

[@Bisbeatle]

I'm looking for a drive with at least 5TB of storage to use for editing raw 6k video from a Red Komodo, but I don't have a dump truck of money to spend - Do you have any recommendations for this scenario? I've been looking at the LaCie d2 and 2big drives, but I am feeling very indecisive as hard drives are not my area of expertise. My ideal budget is no more than $500.

[@danielzareil2079]

The first scene 😆😆😆

[@whoustmaster2776]

At the very least, people should backup their most important files. I almost lost a year worth of work when my laptop died but luckily I was able to salvage the drive inside.

[@RudyVisuals]

Yep and do it at least once a month!

[@lilmai1997]

Right now I'm using a 24tb g-raid shuttle 4. You can't put a price on protecting your files.

[@RudyVisuals]

That's a nice raid dock! Absolutely agree!

[@samsen3965]

Lossing data is BAD!

[@sirelegance89]

So pricey though! 😲

[@retrogamerz9576]

32tb!? Pretty sure my laptop has a 256gb hard drive and windows 11 takes up like 60% of it lol

[@RudyVisuals]

OS's always take up so much space :(

[@uchihasasuke6986]

I need 32tb in my life.
