Re: Recommendation for storage system hardware (mainboard, controllers)

Reminding everybody that external drives are for backup purpose
only, and shall not be switched on usually otherwise will
quickly fry, he claims to have 3TB storage occupied. Now,
12Mpixel raw+jpg file takes about 22M each, so we're talking
about more than 130k photos, a huge number. I cannot understand
why one wants to have them online all the time. Spending just
1" to merely watch the photo will take 1.5 days of continuous
work. Even if he shoots video only, a dvd is about 4G, still
more than 700 Hollywood films on 3TB.

You're thinking of digital SLR cameras. However this guy is
working with huge format cameras. One image easyly has 20k x 10k
pixels, i.e. 200Mpixel.

One application is e.g. product photography, so that you can zoom
deep into the pictures. Another are ultra high resolution
panorama images, which are then printed on walls. You stand in
the middle of a room and see the panorama of a city, but then
you near the picture to 30cm and can clearly recognize every
detail.

    ... With the coming of digital photography I have become increasingly sensitive to the constructive criticism that some trip reports just have too many pictures, and none of the bad ones are weeded out, that said I realize there are folks who also take the "more pictures the better" attitude, so I'm going to do TWO trip reports for this trip one with no more than 20 pictures for the whole day all on one page that is for that day I'm calling this the limited pictures version and here's a link to it that said there is still the editorial decision as to WHICH 20 photos to feature, and I'll just have to take my best guess as to which ones I think are the best, or best illustrate the report. ...
