Amazing really. What else to say about this MASSIVE fall in hard drive price over time?
Lemme see now, 3+ grand for 10 MB back then, or $95 today for 1TB from Officeworks. Gob-smacking, that’s what it is. (Some of our email attachments exceed 10MB today!)
Backups. Yeah right. Heard these were a good idea.
The good news is there are lots of hardware and software solutions around, and it’s so easy these days to establish a good system that there’s no excuse not to. I linked to a great “primer” paper from Apple below, and this outlines the chain that goes from Local Storage > Backup > Archive, but if you want to jump straight to a solution – then here’s one you might want to consider – Netgear’s ReadyNAS NV+ (the RAID formerly known as Infrant).
What makes the ReadyNAS so special? Well how about…
