About 23K photos, negligible personal video. Software: OSX, Adobe Lightroom. Local storage: MacBook Pro with PCI flash, catalog (Lightroom folder, 35GB of previews and catalog backups), local working set for travel (10GB folder). Local storage backed up by OSX Time Machine. Central storage: ~900GB (as of today, probably 10-15GB worth of dups) on Synology DS713+ useful RAID1, access over 1Gbps Ethernet, 9K MTU. Backed up to a RAID6 on a DIY Ubuntu system over rsync. Plan to start backing up to Amazon Glacier. Lightroom is a nice workflow manager. I got it when accumulated about 3K photos all over the local storage. It allowed to start the catalog with photos in their current locations and then gradually drag them to central locations, while maintaining a directory structure of my liking. Thoughtful backups and redundant storage are not less important anyhow.
