[Bluewolf2028]

[LuisLopez522]

I have been following you basically since you started and I must say this just gets better and better.

[JHVH1]

I wonder when they are going to use thunderbolt on one. Mine has firewire 800 which is better than USB, and works with my macbook pro.

[mikeyEDITS]

damn three backups :P how many pictures do you have???

[ultimateFayt]

Drobo!!!!



[ashkibala1]

Jared, I was supposed to study photography at Brooks Institute but the annual cost is way too much. It's about $50,000. Do you think it's worth it?

[JaredPolin]

@ashkibala1 HELL NO!!!!!! Go pay a photographer 15 grand to study with them for a year or something and learn hands on. You don't need the school like that to make it as a photographer in my mind.

[ashkibala1]

@JaredPolin the tuition and fees become almost 26k. but because i am an international student, then they estimate that i need about 25k for my own expenses like transportation, books, equipments, etc. do you think 26k is worth it? i heard that it's one of the best photography faculties in the US. i agree that i don't need to go to pay that much to become a photographer but i think it can be a good start. don't you think?

[JaredPolin]

@ashkibala1 honestly at this juncture no, thats a lot of money, buy some gear try on your own for a while than decide if you need school. You can make it without school.

[ashkibala1]

@JaredPolin you are right. thanks ;)

[ChrisAstro30]

@ashkibala1 50K? Shit! NO way!

[beckwithproductions]

What should you do if you're a teen in high school without a 'company' or 'job title'?

[JaredPolin]

@beckwithproductions get on the school news paper.

[numex106]

what type of raid are you using jared

[JaredPolin]

@numex106 its drobos thing called beyond raid.

[numex106]

awesome

[mrwmw]

Fro knows DROBO dot com

[uguluggu]

@mrwmw see ya :D

[ericp726]

I think Drobo uses Raid 5. If you have 5 2TB drives you will actually have 8 TB of usable space. 

[bendingsnake]

I want to win it.

[johanneswingerlang]

20TB... 20000000 MB, which means over 1.3 millions 15MB-photos... Do you really get that many keepers? You could (litteraly) take 365 photos every day, in the next 10 years...

[skatebaker321]

@Tiggyspawn93 yeah i realize that. haha

[AxCYeR]

lol i bought an external hdd for back-up but i always forget to use it ~.~

[maxdenhaag]

Nice biceps jared :)

[JaredPolin]

@maxdenhaag why thank you.

[maxdenhaag]

@JaredPolin I never noticed it before, do u work out ?

[harrybean2006]

Offsite backup is key. What service will you use?

[btdown]

Drobo is the shit! Man...I have a Synology and am looking to switch.

[MavataR]

Hey im jared polin, look at what i got and how good it is!

[lenoat702]

Are you a Windows hater?

[aidanhill]

Jared, I purchased a 4 bay V2 after your videos 8 or so months ago. Couldn't agree with you more about this product, it just works! Though I did upgrade to Lion and now have a slight problem with the copy function which Drobo are looking into.

[MrBerkerk]

If you're planning on using the second Drobo as a mirror for the first, then you still have 10Tb effective storage, not 20Tb.

[luubiiluu]

So much storage space... Are we trying to copy life into a computer, or what? We are going to end up like in the Matrix, damn it.

Less is more, people.

[Leprechaun79]

Hey Jared, I was wondering what point and shoot rugged terrain point and shoot camera you would suggest (shock proof, waterproof). I would greatly appreciate your opinion.Thank you.

[Miken2341]

awesome giveaway

[boilerjack]

This Is Awesome---Shooting Raw gets expensive but worth it and this is great.

[sinoperture]

At this level it is time to get tapes.

[CHRherr]

i cant even enter cause i dont work. what the heck is this. i need one of these too.

[averyaccordion]

I Cant wait to lose :( I wish i could afford something like this :) i have a 400 gb drive in my core 2 extreme machine...

[freemind0000]

@averyaccordion Do not worry . Soon almost nobody in the US will be able to buy it , so u won't be the only one feelign screwed.

[averyaccordion]

@freemind0000 Not completly true...

[Db3st0794]

when you put 2 drives in a drobo, dont they already like auto backup to the 2nd hard drive?

[WestCoastMods]

I think the 4 bay is not a NAS...unless you buy the Drobo Share. I am a 4yr user of the Drobo.....So when I say this take it to heart.

You should look into Synology DS1511+ NAS Backup Storage....much faster than Drobo and a much better backup solution, along with many other functions.

Jared, check it out before you invest to much into Drobo, unless there throwing them at you for free.

[kmedina419]

i remember back i 2006 during my computer it class that all you need in a computer is 60g hard drive and ill never fill it up. Now iam rocking 3TB. Gotta love technology.

[skatebaker321]

10 terabytes? a bit excessive isnt it?

[JaredPolin]

@skatebaker321 actually I now have two so its 20 tb. I dont think it is, i have room to grow and there not that expensive to put in.

[skatebaker321]

@JaredPolin oh really how much for one?

[btdown]

@skatebaker321 Not really..depending on what RAID type he uses the actual storage size will be a lot less.

[indemaTROY]

@skatebaker321 10tb would be nice though. I have a 2tb drive, already using 1tb on it.

[x1337xCAZIE]

I'm annoyed with all the contests on youtube to win stuff just so someone can get more exposure. Jarred, you're awesome, but just a lot of other people are doing the same deal. x.x I'd never win so i've stopped bothering with them. :/ wtb more reviews ha.

[kauxkaux]

@x1337xCAZIE This is the kind of stuff that allows Jared and other youtubers to produce content for us FOR FREE!

[MultigrainPie]

@x1337xCAZIE yeah but i don't think it's for his personal exposure, it's more like marketing for drobo

[x1337xCAZIE]

@MultigrainPie I suppose so, makes it a little less sell-outyish. I'm still happy with his content so don't get this mixed up ha.

[MandrakeCigars]

I like the maroon shirt

[Snakekilla12]

would you really trust offsite storage with RAW format files?

[JaredPolin]

@Snakekilla12 when i say off site I mean like a safe deposit box with drives in it.

[Snakekilla12]

@JaredPolin gotcha, yes that makes more sense lolz.

[TerryWillard]

@JaredPolin in case of fires, or theft from your home/office.

[pimpjuice8921573]

5th!



[ProphiX3]

how big are your raw files jared?

[Snakekilla12]

@ProphiX3 I think most of the storage are the videos he created, especially with froknowsphoto's site

[JaredPolin]

@Snakekilla12 its getting there, a lot of my storage though are my RAW files which is over 2tb i think since 2003 when i went digital.

[martinaee]

:)

[sk8dude9999]

Cool.
