Backing up DVDS...damn is there any faster way?
 

I have been encoding Dvds forever for www.memberchannels.com

so now i want to back them up..i bought my self a 500 GB external hd and will get a couple more to keep at a different location.


Is there a faster way to do this? I think it will take me 2-3 days from the looks of it just from this one computer :( i have 5 of them to back up all chalk full of DVDS:(


Any input is appreciated

usb drives i assume? i use sata external drives and also hot swap 5 1/4 drive bays. usb is way too slow. would be faster to install the 500gig drive internally and copy the content then put the drive into the enclosure.

feel free to contact me with any questions or the next time you have a shitload of dvds to do

yes i think you are right...adding the internal and then enclosing it is the way to go

not that i know of am lookign for a new dvd ripper

Or buy firewire 800 drives. That will get closer. The sata with a 10,000 rpm raptor would be faster but they are limited more on size. Firewire 800 is pretty speedy.

sata external is a shitload faster than firewire. you can get an sata hanger cheap.

looking for a dvd ripper... you mean a person to do it or software to do it?

bump bump

watch for my new feeds:)

As someone else said... esata is the way to go if you need super fast speeds.

Speed on firewire 800 is way up there man.

You can get a 500GB western digital external with firewire 400 firewire 800 and usb 2.0 for 239.00

Also must back up them!
