All video editors and content creators need hard drive space... And LOTS of it. Here is a great solution for getting old/finished projects off of your computer drives and onto a safe, backed up drive on the cheap. WHAT YOU NEED: USB 3.0 Adapter: $13 - http://amzn.to/1dqG90O Firewire 800+USB: $59 - http://amzn.to/1dqGaC2 2x 1TB Drives: $100-125 (or Free if you have old ones) - http://amzn.to/16xAceG Fireproof Safe: $25 - http://amzn.to/1ayn3tC (Optional): Hard drive cases - http://amzn.to/1dqFVXw RESULT: Solid Backup Solution for $13-185. UPDATE: A lot of people are commenting on how this is a bad idea for long-term storage (years). So yes, this isn't the greatest way to store projects for extended periods of time. But this is still a great way to move data around and store projects. It has worked for me and my clients for several years. Just always make sure you have at least 2 or 3 copies!!!
