Storage Buyer’s Guide – Because You Gotta Store Your Stuff! By: Russ Fairley. Videomaker magazine, issue January 2014.

In this article, I read about different storage for video.  Particularly the importance of storing footage and what things you can store it on.  The reason it’s important to store footage is because you could have important footage of someone who you might not get to have footage of again.  In general though, it’s important because if you lose your footage, that’s time wasted.  Some of the storage units this article discussed were ones such as, RAID.  This storage device has a mirroring option, so it has two copies of the footage.  Therefore making the device have 4 Terabytes.  Although, you only get to use two of those because of the mirroring feature.  More storage possibilities are ones such as, external hard drive, and internal hard drive.  External hard drives plug into our computers with wires or USB.  Where as internal hard drives is the amount of storage a computer has.  What I’ve learned from this is, you have multiple options to store your footage so it doesn’t get lost, because if you’re by yourself or working with multiple people, you wanna make sure you keep your footage safe.  A way I can apply this to class is, we already store our footage on the computers hard drive, so this article just states the importance of it.
