- I've seen the future of my backups and it's an eSATA hard drive dock. Like this one
I got one delivered today with a little $20 eSATA PCI card and a 1.5TB seagate drive and it works great. 100MB/sec transfer and I can just get a bunch of bare drives to write my stuff to each night. Already ordered a little Pelican case to hold them. That way if my house is burning down, I just need to grab one box to save my whole life's work.
- Spent last Saturday at the Whitney Museum's William Eggleston retrospective. I wasn't sure if I was a fan of his work, but after seening this large collection of medium size and beautiful prints, I'm a convert. He sees those things around us that I wish I saw. Just wonderful and well worth the trip if live in or around NYC. If you can't make it, consider getting the book for yourself or your photographer friends.
- Speaking of books, my friend Meg Wachter made a book of her series "Dumped!" So go buy one!
- I will be taking delivery of my 5D Mark II tomorrow, I'll certainly let everyone know how that goes.
- And on friday I should be getting my new NEC 3090 monitor, a review of it will be forthcoming as well.
- Oh and while the hard drive and 4x5 and lensbaby are sold, I still haven't closed the deal on the lenses and monitor from last week's sale. I'll give it another couple days before I put the stuff on ebay. Everyone who was interested, please email me.

Regarding your Hard Drive Dock, these are very versatile and low cost solutions. I picked up a similar dock at my local Fry's and use it to utilize the old eSATA drives from my NAS. When I upgraded my NAS' drives, I had the old drives which I reused as my backup drives for the NAS. I just pop in one of the old drives, hit backup, and when it's done eject it from the dock and stick it back in the fire proof safe.
It's a great solution for backups as well as direct storage.
