There’s Moore’s Law. And there’s the unwritten law of storage capacity: You never have enough drive space in your computer. Especially when it comes to working with video, big hard drives are a must. But what happens if your internal rack is already filled to capacity? Surely you don’t want to buy another expensive external drive. So what about those old drives, which could easily work as a RAID backup system and solve your storage problems?
