Unfortunately, I won't be able to access my DAS while I am on the road, and that is a no-go for me.
DAS is a cheap and effective solution that would allow me to store and archive tons of footages safely at home with an abundance of storage space at an affordable price. Or DAS, a fancy word for having a local computer storage as an archive and is connected to a computer at home. Carrying one external hard drive is ok, but more than one, it becomes a reliability to have it all in your backpack all the time. External Hard DrivesĪs mentioned above, this solution can get out of hand fast as time goes. I realized that if I were going to have an archive, I would need to be able to access it locally so that I can reliably transfer files to and from the archive. My 4K video files are just too big for the cloud storage to be a reliable storage solution and with all the crappy internet I have had the pleasure of experiencing while traveling, cloud storage doesn't seem appealing to me. People have been recommending me to use a cloud storage every time I rant about my storage problem online but in reality, cloud storage is only good for photos but not raw videos. After weeks of research, I have found a few potential solutions but none of them works well with my workflow. The purpose of my storage solution is to have one archive located in a safe place that is connected to the Internet so that I can access my data anytime, all the while, having a local external hard drive on hand so that I can work while on the road. That was an expensive lesson that I don't plan to experience again, hence why I need a storage solution. I have had my bag stolen while traveling once, and I lost 2 years of content that I could have earned some money from.
