Re: [Avid-L2] Internal SATA Drives

I'm seriously hoping that doesn't last too much longer. Our archive system is based on a combination of raw drives and LTO- We make at least two copies of everything we want to keep- and... I'm running out of stock on raw drives. Given the number of drives we go through, it's not really cost-effective to continue archiving this way. Hopefully we'll see the prices start to inch back down.

SR is awesome... wait... File based is awesome... wait... archiving to kodak is awesome... wait...

sigh.

I just checked Best Buy today, which used to have a good supply of Western Digitals and Seagates. All they had were WD Green and Blue drives and only the 5400RPM versions. Prices were 1.5 to 2X from a year ago. When you check online for anything raw in the 1TB-3TB 7200RPM variety (like WD Caviar Black), you find a lot of "out-of-stock" listings.
