LaCie do one which I've heard is decent but I still have a (probably irrational) fear of their drives failing. We were forced to use LaCie drives when I was an employee years ago at another company and easily 5 out of 20 drives completely died within first 6 months.
Appreciate mirroring mitigates risk in some ways etc. Rugged raids are pretty new as these things go so I'm not wildly concerned about making two transfers initially (leaving 3 copies once complete which is pretty much the industry standard way of doing it to my knowledge on shoots of our moderate to small scale). Also I'd be more inclined to to have distinct copies at different locations than a single rugged RAID.
Thanks for the chart - interesting and I wonder what the various climbs are (around 2010 / 2014 / 2017)? SSD, from that at least, looks very much to be slowing down in terms of rate of descent so I'd imagine as good a time as any to start picking them some up to test workflows. Cheers!
