Digital film media backup and RAID

Published on

My friend Jules Kobelin is going to Berkeley Digital Film Institute to learn everything about digital film creation. So far she is loving every minute of it!

She recently came to me because she is having issues around inexpensive yet stable media storage. Specifically, she is trying to solve two problems:

1) She needs to store lots and lots of data from her film shoots

2) She needs fast access to her data while editing
