Storage Solutions
Being a writer/photographer around here means that on any given day I could be attending meetings and writing, heading out to take photos of, or with, the latest gear, or even shoot an editing video for social media or the Web. This means being prepared for anything. Unfortunately, since I live in Connecticut, I do not want to drag along anything that I don’t need or that will weigh me down. I think I’ve gotten things down to a solid list of everyday carry essentials that will make my commute and work experience a lot better.

Many NAS devices can be used to record footage from surveillance cameras, but they’re not designed specifically for surveillance. What makes the Mx-S-NAS2A-8 2-Bay NAS Enclosure and Mx-S-NAS4A-16 4-Bay NAS Enclosure from MOBOTIX unique is that they are designed for the network recording of ONVIF-S
As convenient as cloud storage is, it’s not perfect. Your data is generally stored off-site, which can lead to privacy concerns, and you have to pay monthly fees. On top of that, storage size has a limit. If you want more storage, you have to pay more, which can certainly be frustrating. To help combat this, Kwilt has introduced an alternative to cloud storage with its Kwilt2 and
Built as a shared storage solution for small- to mid-sized workgroups and businesses, Promise Technology’s Atlas S8+ 8-Bay NAS Server comes pre-configured with four Gigabit Ethernet ports and one 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt™ 3 port, in capacities of 32TB (8 x 4TB), 64TB (8 x 8TB), and
There’s no question that the future of high-speed data transfers rests firmly within Thunderbolt 3, which features bi-direction data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s. However, for as fast as it is, Thunderbolt 3 is often limited by the interface (SATA vs. PCIe) and type of host drive (hard drive vs. solid-state drive). To this end, G-Technology has paired the fast Thunderbolt 3 interface with speedy SSD storage to create the G-DRIVE Pro Thunderbolt 3 External SSD. Available in capacities of
With Thunderbolt™ 3 and USB Type-C connectivity slowly but steadily gaining traction, Akitio has just released three new products aimed at those who want to expand aspects of their system’s storage and connectivity.
First up is the Akitio Thunder3 RAID Station 2-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array, which functions as a dual-bay storage solution with a hardware RAID controller and a Thunderbolt 3 dock. Each drive bay accepts 3.5
Thunderbolt™ 2 may not be the new kid on the block, but it certainly isn’t going anywhere, as it provides bi-directional transfer speeds of up to 20 Gb/s, which is more than enough bandwidth to handle 4K and 6K workflows. In creating their G-SPEED Shuttle XL Thunderbolt™ 2 RAID Array, which is available in configurations of 48TB (8 x 6TB), 80TB (8 x 10TB), and 112TB (8 x 14TB), G-Technology harnessed the power of Thunderbolt™ 2
With the holidays rapidly approaching, now is the time to stock up on gifts for family and friends. And while you’re looking for gifts for others, you may find something to share with people shopping for you. For those who thrive on instant gratification, why not get them an instant camera?

With everything that goes into capturing aerial footage—type of drone, camera setup, lens configuration, etc.—it’s easy to overlook one of the simplest but most crucial components of the recording process: storage. And while not as varied as drones themselves, the solutions for saving all your flying footage are sundry, and require careful consideration. To help decide which solution is right for you, we’ve selected five great options to choose from, with some helpful use-cases thrown in. Be sure to read all the way to the bottom, as we’ve
Have you noticed your computer being slower than usual? Before you use this as an excuse to purchase a new laptop (we know it’s tempting), you might want to opt for a more cost-effective approach, which is cleaning out the hard drive (HDD). In a few simple steps, you can analyze and clean out your HDD to free up valuable storage space. Defragging your old HDD and properly formatting newly-installed SSDs will ensure that your computer doesn’t become bloated or sluggish.
Always Back up Your Data First
Before you start doing anything to your hard
When people record live concerts and studio productions, multi-track recording is ideal. It grants you the power to fix and mix the performances in ways that would not be possible if only a stereo mix was recorded. However, multi-track creates a large amount of data in a hurry. Your recorder’s drive needs to be able to handle the burden imposed by writing and reading a multitude of large, uncompressed audio files simultaneously. There are several important factors to consider when shopping for a suitable drive: speed, durability, compatible
If you make music, you know that you can’t control when your creativity flashes into existence. Thankfully, the ability to follow the meandering muse is becoming easier and easier via increasingly powerful smartphones, tablets, and user-friendly production apps. With the portable power they give, you can be on a plane or in a train making music and stacking tracks instead of just sitting there being angry that your inspiration lacks the consideration to be well-timed.
So, let’s say that you’ve got these musical ideas in your phone or tablet
