A Place for Everything

There is nothing more satisfying than having a neat and tidy work/living space. Everything you need is quickly in reach when you need it.
This also applies digitally, with everything organized into easy to follow layouts.

While i’m not going to get into said organization layout in this post. I’ll save that maybe for a digital declutter post.
What I did want to briefly write about was storage upgrades.

For years I would periodically add more digital storage by ways of buying new External Hard drives. This meant that after a number of years my files would be spread out over a bunch of different drives.

My Old Hard Drive Collection

As you can imagine this becomes highly impractical. Not only taking up physical space, but also keeping track of files across many drives.
I finally decided to invest in the largest drive I have ever owned. This way I can consolidate my data better and get rid of older drives that were probably on their way out.

The Replacement

After some looking at options, I decided on 12 TB. After merging all of the drives and getting rid of duplicate files, this so far is more then enough and should last me well into the future. I will be keeping some of the Older drives to use for things such as Backups.

Now that all the data is in one place, it’s just a matter of organizing it all to improve and increase workflow.

I’m sure this will take some time.
