Nothing Fancy

Today’s photo is nothing fancy. Just a shot of 3 of the 5 external drives I have hooked up to my main computer. They each contain 2 2GB drives in a RAID-1 configuration. This means that there is “only” 6GB of data, not 12GB, as the drives in each unit mirror each other. I swap out the drives inside one of the units fairly often. It contains my Aperture Vaults [backups of my photos]. The other contains the current Aperture projects I’m working on and the 3rd contains the current film/video projects I’m working on. I have many other drives, but these units are very solid and they are easy to swap drives in and out of [something i am doing way too often as images and video files fill up each drive]. I back the data up on other drives and remotely via Crashplan. I’ve also got a tape drive that monthly backups are made on.

Each drive has a Tron lightcycle on top. Yeah, I’m a sucker for Tron.
