After 6 months of photography I'm now running out of space on my laptop Hard drive.... my heart is telling me to buy a Quad Core Desktop with 4GB RAM and a 20+" screen , however my head is saying that I cant really justify that just now :razz:
So I have three real options
1. archive some of my old pics off to my external HDD, this is only ever connected to the laptop for backup purposes and is a bit big and cumbersome to use.... it also means I cant go back and play with old photo's unless i make a conscious decision to hook it up.
2. Buy a new lightweight and portable external HDD - I could probably live with this as long as its USB powered.
3. Buy a NAS and access my files over WiFi
what do we think? - also any suggestions on 2+3 appreciated.
