Storage configuration suggestions for starting photography
So I've been using my laptop as my storage for everything for the last year (RAW files, lightroom catalogue, jpegs) as I learned photography and fiddled around on my own time. I'm now getting into sports photography and am looking to move my setup to something more serious.
I have a custom PC I use for gaming that I'd like to move my workflow to. I've been using photo mechanic to cull images into a folder while deleting unusable images, then lightroom to edit and eventually export jpegs to flickr, keeping things organized as best I can along the way.
I'm on a tight budget and was thinking of having a working HDD with a copy in RAID 1 config, then backing up that data onto a cloud like backblaze or dropbox. I don't really need more than that right now, if I even need two HDDs for this.
Any suggestions for the layout here? Drive types and cloud storage services that work for you? Is a two-drive reader something that would make sense for this? Thanks in advance.
