Page 1 of 4 The Need for Storage The increased resolution of digital SLRs, the growth in the use of the RAW file format and 16-bit image editing have all led to larger and larger image files. These bigger files not only take up a significant amount of space on a memory card, but also occupy more space on the hard drives of our desktop and laptop computers. While a computer with a 60 GB hard drive seemed more than ample a couple of years ago, we soon discovered all that real estate was being consumed by a growing number of digital images. To accommodate this ever-increasing amount of files, pros are expanding their use of alternate storage options, which include external hard drives and recordable discs, like CDs and DVDs. |
