Less then 2 years later, I've filled up my 8tb external drive....
Do I,
1. Pay 300 for a 12 TB drive, swap it out, and keep going? (middle of the road option)
2. Buy a 6 TB drive, pull all my video stuff (which I don't access as much) off my big 8TB, label it Video, and keep going? (cheapest band aid option)
3. Same as above, but pony up an additional $550 for an OWC 16 TB Raid solution, and then run it in Raid 0....I've been having issues using the finder to search through all my big negative scans and layered files, (it never seemed to be an issue before upgrading to Mojave) I frequently have to force quit finder and it eventually will chill out and find the file, but real annoying....Additionally most of what I do now is use lightroom and work on files from 42mb digital....I can't seem to get a clear sense of whether a Raid 0 would help speed up Lightroom performance? (it works now, but takes a looong time to import from card, and is really slow/laggy rendering 1 to 1 previews....(costliest/gear head in me thinking this will make my art better option) but maybe it would??
