The Media of the Future Depends Upon Storage

By Jim Bask 0 Comment February 27, 2018

But, what surprises me is how few questions I get, asking about what storage to buy. Yet, as we move into 4K, 6K, 8K and HDR images, storage needs explode.

When you’re choosing storage, you have what seems like a million options. It’s always tempting to narrow your choice down to speed, capacity and price. But there’s much more to it than that.
