Thanks again for all the comments, and I'm glad people enjoy this. I'm working on a new one of a very different subject.

27TB? That's crazy.
My wife would probably agree! My current video project is on pace to exceed 27TB by quite a bit. I can delete the raw footage once a project is "done", but my biggest problem is that I have several works in progress at once and keeping the raw footage lets me re-stack them as I improve my software or tweak parameters. Once I delete the raw footage I'm stuck with the video clips I have stacked, which are comparatively tiny but much more limited in what I can adjust. My server now has eight 16TB hard drives in its RAID array for a net usable capacity of about 100TB, and it's only 75% full so that will last me through the current project but then I really need to purge some of it.

Absolutely stunning! A giant round of applause! The colors and focus are super as is the editing!
It's like being able to slowly fly over the wing as a tiny insect.
