  The guy walks around with a video camera permanently on recording his life?

    Or he's supports video processing/FX production. RAW data takes up multiples more than compressed outputs.

    I know a great many people collect recordings of tv series and movies, it's a hobby that can get quite out of hand disk wise. Most don't go for such a professional solution though. I know one who had 20+ external USB drives connected to a few servers.

  Took a 10 day vacation with a single DSLR shooting RAW... 60GB of photos/videos. I've not gone through and deleted anything yet... but I don't really have to either.

    I have a similar pack of raw images, which I never got to clean up since I got spare storage space and it is not even that big - looking at those new Panasonic GH4 cameras that can shoot raw video with some crazy bitrate, you will need loads of storage.

  I have kids. This translates into lots of home video. I am also ripping all my DVDs onto my home server. That chews through a bit of storage, but it's also a lot more convenient (and, with kids, less likely to end in tears of sctrached or bejammed DVDs). BluRays will be next. It's easy to use a vast amount of storage.
