I supervise photographers. 2GB/day is NOT a lot in my world. The company I work for routinely produces complex shoots that yield 20-30GB a day (1000+ RAW captures). My needs (and the needs of our clients) are served by having a lot of alternatives. In our world, the difference between a professional photographer and a wannabe is that the professionals shoot both high volume and high quality to produce many alternatives. Also, don't let anybody fool you into thinking that JPEG is a viable alternative to RAW for longterm archiving.
