I have been working on cleaning out unnecessary files, duplicates, and getting rid of some extra pictures, just keeping the proofs from files older than 2009. Then I worked on making sure everything was organized by year and backed up on two different external hard drives. I have a total of 5 externals. A lot of time consuming work! Over the last couple years I have gotten a lot more organized with my photo files but some of the older ones were pretty random!
After all of that clean out, I was still short on space! It was clear that I wouldn't be able to make it thru the year with what was available. After a bit of power seaching, I found a great deal on another external WD 2TB drive. This will definitely ease the space issues for the year, making it possible to unplug and store a couple of the older drives with older files.
High megapixel pictures are wonderful but they take a bunch of space!
