Extreme Storage

Discussion Questions
1. Storage of photos and videos on my personal computer would be very important to me along with the storage of my school and work files. Strategies that also need to come with in my personal computer is the ability to back up. I have a lot of images that our on my phone that I back up to the computer and I rely on the information stored in order to retrieve it if something happens to my cell phone.
2. This would be a good idea in case any additional storage space was needed to be added to a personal computer. Raid can be used in both SAN and NAS systems to make files smaller allowing more room on the device.

Critical Thinking
1. This means that the big company needs to manage their storage very well. The large company needs to make sure they have the right equipment to manage all of their storage even with drive failures. A small company may not need as many drives as a big company so it would not hurt them if they had a drive failure. The large company just has to manage their storage systems correctly and always make sure they have enough room.
