PhotoShelter Storage


PhotoShelter announced that photographers could access 1 terrabyte of redundant storage for an annual fee of $1000, or 1/2 a terrabyte for $600 a year. I don't think that's a bad deal at all...since it currently costs more than that to just buy the drives, and have them in safe locations. I wonder if the annual fee will change, remain the same or drop. It ought to be the latter since the cost of manufacturing storage has been declining over the years.

PhotoShelter warns that the average lifespan of a hard drive is 4 years, and that storing images on computer's hard drive or on DVD/CD's is an extremely risky proposition. (!!!)
