How do you guys store your HD video? My hard drive is filling up quite quickly with all the stock footage from turkey season. I'm planning on a external hard drive in the near future, just wondered what everyone's method on here is. And do always keep a copy stored elsewhere for safety issues?

I have enough space on my new mac book pro to store everything right now but i have been looking at getting a back up probably 1 TB so i know i wont run out and it everything will be in safe place incase my computer fails for some reason. I can probably wait a little while though its not very high on my priority list right now.
How much space do you have on your computer? I just checked mine and i have about 100GB of video right now but i still have over 600GB of storage left.
Troy and I use a terabyte external hard drive. We have loads of video on there and it works great. Find one on sale and IMO you can't beat it. It takes around 5 min to upload it and your good to go. AVCHD files take up a lot of room, you will fill up your computer in no time
I had the same problem and got a 1.5tb external HD. Works great. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=864562&is=REG&Q=&A=details
I have a 3 TB HD in my PC, and have space for 4 more as needed. I also have a 1 TB external that I can use for easy transport. Storage is pretty cheap these days. You can get a 1 TB external for about $80 bucks. I picked mine up on a black Friday deal for $50.
if you need space 'right now', you could always burn to disc for the time being. You would have a backup in case anything happened, too. I think you might be able to compress the files to store them on disc so you could get more on there. Just a thought
I'm still good as of now, but just for security issues I want all my stock video in atleast two places. Maybe three. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah. I had to delete a few videos before I got that external HD and now I only have them on the Huntvids.com web site
You should be able to find a free file downloader online. It will allow you to download videos off YouTube and other places online to your computer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My PC at home has a 2TB RAID 5 set up so storage and back up isn't an issue for me. I've also got a work laptop which I have a 1TB external drive for back up and I use Microsoft's Sync Toy utility to synchronise the folders I want. That way I just have to run the utility and it backs everything I want up to the external drive.
