Right now, I have 8 gb ( or over 9 billion bytes ) of pictures on my hard drive that I have taken over the past 5 years. How many gigabytes do you all have?
5 years?? I do almost double that PER MONTH! :lmao:
*JUST* from June 29 to July 26 (under 1 month), I have 15.8GB (16,971,460,562 bytes) and 2,299 pictures in 40 folders. These are culled, so, thats just my keepers.
This also happens to be my files to backup ONLY... not the files that I have on the SAN or my 2 TB storage drive. I suppose a wild guess would be a couple terrabytes and files dating back to 2000 or so?
I let it get to about 20gig before I move the files to the SAN and then make DVD copies for storage.
I have like 7GB of pictures on my HDD. I'm kinda cheating though, cause I have RAW, jpg, and processed jpg. So basically 3 sets of the same pictures (albeit the processed jpg are usually smaller) Been into photography for about 1 1/2 months now
