my laptop only has 1TB SSD so I only keep the data I am currently working on on that. Everything else I archive to a 5TB external drive. But I am shortly going to put all this in the cloud. As someone else said, data is precious and google backs up more reliably than me :-)

Michael Lehv:John Hayes: I asume this is a typo: should be MBit/s not GBit/s. Since the mainstream high speed network cards end at 10 GBit/s. For higher speeds you need fiber optic multiplexing adapter. For their costs (and infrastructure) you get almost one CDK as give away for free. 😜 |

Michael Lehv:John Hayes: Michael, Yes, I had to switch to a business account. It was a little nutty. It cost the same, they left the same equipment at my house and all that changed was the account number. The maximum residential transfer rate that I could sign up for was 20 Mb/sec (up) and by switching to a business account, I got 30 Mb/sec (up). The download speed stayed the same (as I recall I'm signed up for 300Mb/s). They tell me that fiber should reach my neighborhood in another year or two and that gives symmetric up/down speeds. John |

Ruediger:Michael Lehv:John Hayes: Yes, thanks for the catch. That was a typo. I'd love to have 30GB/s speeds in any direction! I meant to say "30Mb/sec". Note the lower case 'b' for "bits." I tried to clean this up throughout the thread and I apologize for the error. John |

Hey Zuukz! I'm rocking a refurbished Dell myself. For storage, consider a good SSD for faster access to frequently used files. Keep the 2T HDD for the bulk. Backups on an external drive are a must. I organize project folders to keep things tidy. Good luck!

I probably go overboard storing files. The following are the files that I keep: I have a library of all my biases and darks for each temperature and each exposure setting. The library consists of 50 images at each setting and the 'master' stacked and processed final. I keep all of my subframes and all of my flats for each image. I use PixInsight for processing. Once I get to the point of having a stacked, aligned, and integrated image, I keep all of the processed images. For instance I keep the initial stacked/aligned/integrated image as the 'Master'. I then keep each version of the PixInsight processing steps such as DBE, SPCC, Stretching, CurvesTransformation, etc. That way I can always go back and reprocess starting for any given PixInsight step. I do not keep all of the intermediate files such as all of the Debayer or star alignment files that are used to develop the 'Master'. I then routinely backup all of the files to a remove HDD. Roger |

Just a note on this - I read that they expect the currently cheap SSD prices not to last and significant increases are expected in 2024 so stock up now.  PC World Memory |

My storage disk is called " X-morsus-tera" . A pigeon construct for 10-terabytes. CS David |
