Please help me pick a hard drive system: Small startup is using OneDrive for GIS processes and data storage. Trying to move to an external Hard Drive system instead
So I recently joined a very small start up as their only GIS professional. I am basically working from scratch at this job, with data that comes in directly from the client and other data I create myself. My boss doesnt have a lot of resources to put towards a remote server or a server service that I suggest once. He is very adamant on using stuff he doesnt understand or feels are insecure and wont negotiate if he has to take time to learn since he has bigger fish to fry.
Which is why he wants to stay on OneDrive. I have had so many issues with using QGIS processes on OneDrive and how much data I work with. I dont have the room to store the data on my own computer. So I am trying to convince him that we move all the GIS processes and data to an external hard drive I can work directly off of.
I did some research and there are two hard drives I came across:
1 hard drive is to run active processes and the other hard drive is to store the data and I was thinking of using both in sync together, with the SSD hard drive communicating with the back up hard drive since the backup would be too slow to work directly off of.
The two hard drives I am considering are the:
-Active hard drive: Kingston XS2000 SOLID STATE DRIVE (4TB)
-Backup hard drive: Western Digital My Book (20TB)
Wondering if these two hard drives are a good approach or if there is something better out there I should use instead that would fall more in line with a professional company grade?
