I've moved from a desktop to a fairly pricey laptop for my Edius editing. 17 terabytes of video. While it's all backed up well, I cannot for the life of me feel like I have a reliable system of drives with this laptop. USB 3.0 drives are disconnecting from Windows 10, even when plugged directly into the laptop. I'm using a docking station also, which is about as reliable as plugging usb 3.0 directly into the laptop.
So I'm moving the videos I'm currently working on to internal SSD drives, but even 4 terabytes of SSD drives cannot store everything. So after working on video, I move all the data to USB 3.0 drives, which are thoroughly backed up. Then if I do need to work on the video, I move it all back to the SSD drives, organizing the paths perfectly so it lines back up on the Edius timelines.
The desktop scenario was more reliable, as I used Thunderbolt drives. It's looking like I might not even be able to add this functionality to a laptop.
So my question. What do you all do out there with the above scenario when you have tons of video, video that you might at times go back and work with. How are you storing it if do not have thunderbolt, and using laptops and additional usb drives?
