Best Storage Solutions for Managing Large 3D Render Files?

[leoarthur]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on a series of large-scale 3D visualization projects, and the size of the render files is becoming a challenge. As the complexity of my projects increases, so does the need for efficient storage solutions that can handle these massive files without slowing down my workflow.

I'm looking for recommendations on the best storage solutions to manage these large 3D render files effectively. Specifically, I'd like to know:

• What types of storage drives (HDDs, SSDs, NVMe SSDs) work best for quick access and saving of large render files?
• Are there any particular brands or models that have proven reliable for handling large-scale 3D work?
• How do you manage your file organization to ensure easy access and prevent data loss?
• Is it worth investing in a dedicated NAS (Network-Attached Storage) system, or should I consider cloud storage options for larger projects?
• What backup strategies do you recommend safeguarding these large files?

I've been using a combination of external hard drives and some cloud storage, but I'm not sure if this is the most efficient setup. Any advice or sharing of your own experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your insights!
