OT - External Hard Drives
I'm currently housing my digital images on a couple of external hard drives. They are filling up and its getting to be time to upgrade. Are there any particular brands to look for or avoid? I am thinking of getting a couple of 4TB drives, to replace a couple of 3TB drives currently in use. I'm currently using two pair of drives with a 3TB and 2TB in each pair. Moving from a 3+2 setup to a 4+3 setup will net an additional 2TB of storage, which should last for a couple years or so. I Googled on this and Hitachi came up as making reliable drives. A quick search on Amazon did not reveal any Hitachi drives in enclosures, but I assume I could buy an enclosure that would support them. Any suggestions?

Re: OT - External Hard Drives
Mark, I have a similar opinion and approach to those of Godfrey and Paul. To that, I would like to add a few thoughts that might be useful to you in make the choice: 1. Distinguish the HDDs from the enclosures. a) Some HDD manufacturers are using other manufacturer's HDDs in their own external drives (enclosures), and not their own. This is the case for the mobile (2.5) HDDs. b) What to watch for: i) some enclosures have problems with heat sink; ii) chipsets make the difference (sorry, I cannot suggest which ones a better or should be avoided at the moment, - read the reviews). 2. All consumer grade HDDs (internal drives themselves) and external drives have a certain percentage of failures, and even DOAs (dead on arrival). That's true for all manufacturers. The question about the quality is which specific models have that fraction smaller. Some models (for the same manufacturer) are beter than others. The reason for that is that in many cases, it is cheaper for these companies to replace a few drives than to thoroughly test all of them. At least, I heard that at some point such a decision made for some cheapest drives that went several years ago into a gaming console like an Xbox or something. 3. A quick comment (just in case) about Hitachi. For a few years, that company has been called HGST, A Western Digital Company 4. For the mobile type of USB drives, I've been happy with Seagate's FreeAgent GoFlex, the line that got replaced with Backup Plus Slim Portable, as far as I understand. However, today, I would probably choose one of the two models of Transcend - 2TB StoreJet (USB 3.0). They are a bit more expensive then the Seagate counterparts, but seem to have a bit more rugged enclosure. 5. For the desktop external USB 3.0 drives, today I would probably choose Seagate - 4TB Expansion External Desktop USB 3.0 Hard Drive http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/936187-REG/seagate_stbv4000100_4tb_expansion_desktop_hd.html or HGST 4TB Touro Deskpro http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/846330-REG/Hitachi_0S03503_4TB_Touro_Deskpro_Hard.html (I am currently using a 3TB Touro drive and a 3TB Seagate that I think was from the GoFlex Desktop family that got replaced by the Expansion External Desktop line). 6. For a while, I've been considering a Synology Diskstation with 8 or 5 HDDs (slots for HDDs): DS1813+ or DS1513+, which is a NAS server. It would streamline most of the storage needs. You can connect external HDDs to it, and you a video-streaming devices (Roku and alike) seem to work well with it. I might still go that way some day... 7. Finally, some people who have many internal drives successfully using a dock like this from Newer Technology - Voyager s3: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/877711-REG/Newer_Technology_nwtu3s3hd_Voyager_S3_USB_3_0.html I've seen other docks like this, and not all of them a equally good. At the moment, I am using a simler connector from the same company: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/767474-REG/Newer_Technology_NWTU3NVSPATA_USB_3_0_Universal_Drive.html HTH, Igor Paul Stenquist Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:44:32 -0700 wrote: I'm right where Godders is on this.

Re: Peso: Washington Square Park, 1967
Ann, I very much enjoyed this image. In my memory of the modern W.S.Park (circa 2000-2001), it didn't have as many trees, but I realize it might be deceiving. I also enjoyed a few other images that you have in that stream, - from both NYC and Chicago. Jack, as for the tilt that you mentioned, - I understand why you made the conclusion that it was an illusion: the elements (railing) in front and those a bit behind make the lines that are tilted in opposite directions. It took me a couple of minutes of careful thinking to determine the tilt unambiguously. The real tilt is even somewhat larger than what the front elements might suggest. (So that in the untilted photo, the front railing would have its left end slightly above the right end. The culprit is the second row of the railings that compensates the effect of the tilt. The way you can really judge the tilt is by looking at the trees far in the back in the middle of the photo. A somewhat conservative estimate gives me about 2.2 degrees CCW tilt from the horizon.

Re: OT - External Hard Drives

In all that time, only one has failed, a 640GB, after 5 years as a backup drive. OWC currently has some of the larger models on sale. Care must be taken in ordering, as of late, some are sized to match the new, smaller size of Apple Mac Minis post 2010, plus Airports and Time Capsule using 2.5 drives, whereas mine all have 3.5 drives matching the earlier Mac Minis, Airports and Time Capsules. They are stackable, to any height, according to tech supports of the various retailers.

Looks like another Chicago PDML meet-up is on!

Re: OT - External Hard Drives
That's a good point. Putting a set of drives in a safety deposit box would solve two problems - it would provide an archive copy of my library and also prevent me from having a bunch of drives sitting around doing nothing I actually have an arrangement with a local PC store that does offsite backups for businesse, and a copy of the library resides on their servers. I have FTP access but given the amount of data involved I usually just bring a spare copy of the drives to them a few times a year to have them archived.

Re: OT - External Hard Drives
Thanks, Igor - that's very helpful. I was thinking of something like the New Technology - Voyager S3 docking station. The only drawback to getting a couple of those is that I would need to extract at least a couple drives from their existing USB enclosures. Probably not a hard thing to do but I'm always reluctant to destroy something that is perfectly functional. So, I will probably go with a couple drives in enclosures. Thanks - Mark On 10/24/2014 2:34 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Mark, I have a similar opinion and approach to those of Godfrey and Paul. To that, I would like to add a few thoughts that might be useful to you in make the choice: 1. Distinguish the HDDs from the enclosures. a) Some HDD manufacturers are using other manufacturer's HDDs in their own external drives (enclosures), and not their own. This is the case for the mobile (2.5) HDDs. b) What to watch for: i) some enclosures have problems with heat sink; ii) chipsets make the difference (sorry, I cannot suggest which ones a better or should be avoided at the moment, - read the reviews). 2. All consumer grade HDDs (internal drives themselves) and external drives have a certain percentage of failures, and even DOAs (dead on arrival). That's true for all manufacturers. The question about the quality is which specific models have that fraction smaller. Some models (for the same manufacturer) are beter than others. The reason for that is that in many cases, it is cheaper for these companies to replace a few drives than to thoroughly test all of them. At least, I heard that at some point such a decision made for some cheapest drives that went several years ago into a gaming console like an Xbox or something. 3. A quick comment (just in case) about Hitachi. For a few years, that company has been called HGST, A Western Digital Company 4. For the mobile type of USB drives, I've been happy with Seagate's FreeAgent GoFlex, the line that got replaced with Backup Plus Slim Portable, as far as I understand. However, today, I would probably choose one of the two models of Transcend - 2TB StoreJet (USB 3.0). They are a bit more expensive then the Seagate counterparts, but seem to have a bit more rugged enclosure. 5. For the desktop external USB 3.0 drives, today I would probably choose Seagate - 4TB Expansion External Desktop USB 3.0 Hard Drive http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/936187-REG/seagate_stbv4000100_4tb_expansion_desktop_hd.html or HGST 4TB Touro Deskpro http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/846330-REG/Hitachi_0S03503_4TB_Touro_Deskpro_Hard.html (I am currently using a 3TB Touro drive and a 3TB Seagate that I think was from the GoFlex Desktop family that got replaced by the Expansion External Desktop line). 6. For a while, I've been considering a Synology Diskstation with 8 or 5 HDDs (slots for HDDs): DS1813+ or DS1513+, which is a NAS server. It would streamline most of the storage needs. You can connect external HDDs to it, and you a video-streaming devices (Roku and alike) seem to work well with it. I might still go that way some day... 7. Finally, some people who have many internal drives successfully using a dock like this from Newer Technology - Voyager s3: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/877711-REG/Newer_Technology_nwtu3s3hd_Voyager_S3_USB_3_0.html I've seen other docks like this, and not all of them a equally good.

Re: OT - External Hard Drives
Igor - I should clarify: I was looking at a 2 drive station and thought I could put a 4 and a 3 TB drive in it instead of having the 2 drives in enclosures. So I was considering buying 2 4 TB drives and extracting the 3 TB drives from their enclosures to create this system. The advantages might be - using one socket on the power strip vs 2 and having flexibility in cloning the master library onto backups.

Re: OT - External Hard Drives
I have a number of La Cie drives and so far have not had a problem.

They are filling up and its getting to be time to upgrade. Are there any particular brands to look for or avoid? I am thinking of getting a couple of 4TB drives, to replace a couple of 3TB drives currently in use. I'm currently using two pair of drives with a 3TB and 2TB in each pair. Moving from a 3+2 setup to a 4+3 setup will net an additional 2TB of storage, which should last for a couple years or so. I Googled on this and Hitachi came up as making reliable drives. A quick search on Amazon did not reveal any Hitachi drives in enclosures, but I assume I could buy an enclosure that would support them. Any suggestions?

Re: PESO - Oak and Pines
Thanks Bruce. I scan thse at 4000 dpi on a Nikon Coolscan 8000 and the file size and image size is pretty remarkable. This image, with some minor cropping, is 616 mb (16 bit tiff) and would print at 33 x 27 @ 300 dpi. As long as they make film I'll probably still shoot this combo - I don't think I'd be able to finance much of anything by trying to sell it at this point in time.

PESO: Powwow and OT: Heart Attack
My partner went Monday to get a Flu shot and when he got in later in the day he ate a bowl of cereal and then relaxed in his chair. I look and he is covered up shaking and cold and said he was feeling nauseous. Well he goes on to bed and a bit later I hear him throwing up. I go get him a wet wash cloth and a few minutes he tells me to call 911. Monday night at the hospital they check his heart and ended up putting in a stint. This will make his third stint with in oh 12 to 15 years. What we thought at first was him having a bad reaction to the Flu shot was actually him having a mild heart attack. His symptoms: - Chills and shakes from being cold - Fever - Nauseous - Slight pain in his left arm - Achy feeling - Throwing Up He didn't have any chest pain but as stated above mild discomfort in his left arm. Please know that a heart attack could be disguised as something else and you won't always have major chest pains. I would get to the hospital and spend the day up until 7 in the evening and come home to take care of our four legged children. I was able to get edits finished of the 33rd Annual Tennessee State Fall Festival and Powwow that was held over the weekend. I will share a link to one of the photos but as always you are more than welcome to visit the gallery as a whole. I will warn you now that I have several photos in the gallery and eventually will work on getting them narrowed more down.

Re: Peso: Washington Square Park, 1967
Thanks, Attila, Jack, Igor, Paul, Dan, Don, Christine, Rick and Bruce and future commenters.. Attila - This was 1967 - and in New York there were several custom labs, of which many considered Modernage top drawer. At that time I didn't own a camera, it was my ex husbands - although maybe he gave it to me, I can't remember. But i was afraid I'd mess up processing , being a klutz, so all my work back then was done by them. I was mainly painting back then. Igor, Jack - I think you were having a bit of fun with me on the straightening stuff..yes? I frequently can't see a difference if something is off a bit - I AM astigmatic, but there is not a problem with this printin that way when you line up a grid in Elements over the photo the verticals are right on with the elements (hehe) of the photo thatare actually vertical, the buildings in the background, the wastebasket and the actual fence behind it. Igor - the park has gone through radical changes over the years... the photo was taken early in the morning - I think, before I headed off to work... much too early for people to be up.. perhaps I took it on a Saturday morning. It was unusual for it to be that empty. We lived about a block away at that time. Things have changed even more since you lived in the neighborhood, thanks to NYU. This was the first photograph I ever sold from a show - but with a print I made myself in 1978... ann On 10/24/2014 17:54, Attila Boros wrote: That's a lovely print, far better than what I could get from the local labs.

Re: PESO: Powwow and OT: Heart Attack
So sorry to hear that, Jeffery At least it was a _mild_ heart attack and he is on the mend...

Re: OT - External Hard Drives
Mark, Aah, sorry, I hadn't gotten that part. Thanks for clarifying that. I don't know what your requirements, but you might consider you might consider a NAS (network-attached storage) solution. From a good friend of my, who is a sysadmin and has used Synology a lot, I hear good recommendation for their devices. If you are actually looking for a 2-drive station, here are 2-drive version you might consider: DS214 or DS214+: https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS214+#spec https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS214#spec or DS213air: https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS213air#spec You can have those 2 drives configured as RAID-1, if you wish, - to have the redundancy. And you can attach your existing HDDs (assuming the correct connectivity, - see the specs) Or, you can buy a 4-disk device (such as 412+), and have all your four disks in one enclosure. And as far as I know in (at least some) Synology devices you can mix different HDD sizes. My apology if this is far beyond what you wanted to hear. Igor Mark C Fri, 24 Oct 2014 16:14:10 -0700 wrote: Igor - I should clarify: I was looking at a 2 drive station and thought I could put a 4 and a 3 TB drive in it instead of having the 2 drives in enclosures. So I was considering buying 2 4 TB drives and extracting the 3 TB drives from their enclosures to create this system. The advantages might be - using one socket on the power strip vs 2 and having flexibility in cloning the master library onto backups. Thanks again - Mark On 10/24/2014 6:59 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Mark, That docking station solution is for the case when you are have just bare internal drives and have a bunch of them. There is no reason to take the drives for that out of their existing USB enclosures (assuming those are perfectly functional and have the optimum connectivity).
