A Storage Solution for Lots of Digital Photos?

Posted by Cliff on Friday November 25, 2005 @04:41PM from the photo-album-equivalent-for-your-megapixels dept.

Duizendstra asks: "I've been asked to explore the digital storage possibilities for a professional photographer. One of the characteristics is the rapid growth of the amount, and size of pictures. At the moment, one photo session produces about 2 GB of raw data. He has an Apple - Power Mac G5, and he currently uses DVD as his storage medium. However, he has lost quite a few photos because of DVDs that can't be read anymore. I would like to know if any Slashdot readers have any experience in creating a solution for such a problem? Any help/idea(s) would be greatly appreciated!"

"you get what you pay for" - the age old cry of someone asking you to pay too much for something.

One unit can provide 7TB of storage.
Hmm.. $13,000 plus the cost of whatever server you hook it up to. Hardly a good value. Maybe they'll make up for obviously overpriced hardware with important yet intangible benefits. :)
