Storage Planning Tips

Always Plan Ahead

Storage needs can grow quickly. Plan for 2-3x your initial estimate to account for project growth.

Backup Strategy

Maintain multiple backups on different storage types. Follow the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 different media, 1 off-site.

Performance vs Cost

Use fast storage (SSD) for active projects and slower, cheaper storage (HDD) for archives and backups.
