Choosing storage capacity is not only about how much data you have today. You also need to consider future projects, backup requirements, and long-term growth.
Start by reviewing:
・Your current storage usage
・How much new media and project data you create each month
・Whether original files and multiple versions must be retained
・The usable capacity after RAID configuration
・Additional space needed for backup and future expansion
If you only plan around your current data size, you may run out of space sooner than expected.
A better approach is to estimate your needs for the next one to three years and leave room for growth.
The best capacity is not always the largest one. It is the one that fits your workflow, budget, and future plans.
選擇儲存容量時,不只要看目前有多少資料,也要考慮未來的工作量與備份需求。
可以先從以下幾個方向評估:
・目前已使用的資料容量
・每月新增多少照片、影片或專案檔案
・是否需要保留原始素材與多個版本
・RAID 設定後的實際可用容量
・是否需要額外預留備份與未來擴充空間
如果只按照現在的資料量選擇,很可能很快就會遇到容量不足。比較實際的做法,是預估未來一到三年的使用需求,並保留適當的成長空間。
容量不是越大越好,而是要符合你的工作流程、預算與未來規劃。
