Warm man Tony recorded every touching moment of the wedding with Seagate hard drive.

Walking into Julia's photography studio, there are wedding photos in the corridor, and you can feel a strong happy atmosphere. Tony, who has been in charge of photography for more than 20 years, exudes the image of "warm man", and "shooting with heart" is the only way for Tony to win the trust of countless newcomers.

"Julia Photography Studio was established in the Millennium, and we are the earliest wedding photography brand in Taiwan Province Province. But before I started my business, I had been in contact with wedding photography for many years. Before I joined the army, I started as an assistant and later joined the army as a photographer. Now I have accumulated more than 20 years of photography qualifications. To put it simply, I can't live without photography. ▲ Tony, the head of Julia Photography Studio, has more than 20 years of shooting experience. I exude the image of a "warm man". He thinks it is a key to shoot with heart.

From the traditional simple film shooting to the digital age of 200GB wedding documents, Tony is facing the challenge of digital backup methods. "The backup method in the traditional negative era is very simple, but after entering the digital era, with the upgrade of camera specifications, high-quality large files came. When the hard disk capacity gradually ran out, I had to start exploring other digital backup methods. 」

▲ Tony has experienced two generations of negative film and digital, facing a completely different backup concept. On the day of the interview, he generously showed the commonly used shooting equipment and storage equipment.

"A wedding includes both graphic and dynamic photography. I am used to carrying two cameras on a plane at the same time, so I can capture pictures at any time without changing the lens specially. In the dynamic, GoPro, aerial photography, etc. Will be dispatched. Coupled with additional equipment such as spare cameras and wireless microphones, the original file of a single wedding is a 200GB jump, which may reach 500GB at the highest! 」

▲ Tony said that an average wedding will produce about 200GB of original dynamic/static files, and the highest may reach 500GB.

The original file of self-created data collation must be backed up at least six times to feel at ease. In order to properly preserve the memories and works of the newcomers, Tony divided the archives into three categories: activity, collection and essence, and created a set of archives arrangement. The shot original file is synchronized with the green line shown in the figure below for 6 times, and then the active file is edited with AKiTiO Thunderbolt3 Quad Mini fully equipped SSD to maintain performance. The portfolio of the completed manuscript is backed up again through the blue line using NAS and 2.5-inch hard disk, giving customers an extra layer of protection. Finally, Tony also selected some representative works, such as yellow lines stored in 2.5-inch hard disks and Blu-ray discs, to minimize the possibility of file loss.

▲ In the face of massive archives, Tony sorted out a unique arrangement method, and divided the archives into three categories: activity, collection and essence edition, and labeled them for easy search.

At present, the main storage configuration of the studio is DAS and NAS, and it is equipped with Seagate's IronWolf hard disk. Tony also developed a systematic storage method by using 2.5-inch hard disk, M.2.SSD hard disk and Blu-ray disc burning media. "At the beginning, the action of backing up the original file six times may consume several TB of capacity, but in order to protect the once-in-a-lifetime memories of newcomers, I think this is a necessary step. 」

▲ At present, the main storage configurations of the studio are DAS and NAS, equipped with Seagate's IronWolf hard disk and protected by uninterruptible power supply system.

▲ An extra 42 external hard disks and Blu-ray DVD have developed a systematic storage method, which is watertight.

AKiTiO DAS equipped with Seagate IronWolf hard drive creates the ultimate image editing experience. "In terms of image editing, I really recommend you to use AKiTiO DAS with Seagate IronWolf hard disk! AKiTiO is the leading brand of Thunderbolt3, and its high-speed transmission interface has long been a necessary standard for imaging workers. In recent years, the transmission speed of Seagate NAS hard disk has been continuously improved. With the setting of RAID 0, my workflow is smoother and the waiting time for file transfer is greatly reduced. 」

"In addition, voltage stability is also one of the reasons why I chose AKiTiO. Other brands of DAS have encountered overvoltage instability before, which almost led to the disappearance of data, while AKiTiO's products have not encountered this problem. Tony also praised Akidio's after-sales service, which was cordial and professional, and the experience was quite good.

As for the hard disk, whether it's home computer mainframe, DAS or NAS, Tony almost chooses Seagate hard disk. "I have used almost any brand of hard disk, and now Seagate is the most trustworthy. The hard disk has hardly encountered any faults, with good stability and complete service supporting measures. 」

▲ Whether the host, DAS or NAS are equipped with Seagate hard drives in the studio, Tony said that this is due to the trust in the brand.

Seagate data rescue card guards the once-in-a-lifetime precious memories of newcomers. "If you buy a hard drive now, you will definitely buy a Seagate data rescue card." The reason why backup is so cautious is because of Tony's painful bad track experience in the past. "Before 16, the backup was still indigenous steelmaking. As usual, I went to rest with my files open, and I woke up the next day only to find that the computer couldn't be opened! At present, I am anxious to take my hard drive to Guanghua Shopping Mall, but I paid 10,000 yuan and only saved 70% of the information. The photos of two couples were damaged. I feel really guilty at the moment, and it also makes me pay more attention to backup. After all, the wedding can't be repeated, and photos are precious memories for the couple once in a lifetime. As a photographer, you must do your guardian duty. 」

"In the past, the hard disk was broken, and the quotations were different for different models, different parts or different rescue methods. I will specially mark the date and place of purchase of the hard disk, so that we can measure whether to renew the warranty or make extra backups in the future. But once the rescue rate is mentioned in hard disk maintenance, most of them can't give an accurate answer, but Seagate guarantees a 90% success rate! In addition to a complete data rescue center, the original factory has complete parts preparation every year, and even the old models can be rescued, so that I have no worries about data backup at all stages. 」 ?

▲ Tony has used Seagate hard disk 10 for many years, especially advocating rescue card service, and the success rate of rescue is as high as 90%, so that imaging workers have no worries when backing up.

"Intention" is Seagate's greatest commitment to consumers. For more than 20 years, Tony believes that "intention" is the biggest key. "Wedding photography itself is a kind of creation. It captures the picture through the lens and reflects creativity in the mirror palm, but it must be combined with intention to make touching works. The same is true for storage products. Seagate data rescue card makes me more confident in data preservation. The complete double-free after-sales service makes me feel that Seagate is a brand willing to help us protect digital assets from the perspective of consumers, which is why I am willing to recommend it to you. In the future, Tony also hopes to continue to shoot enthusiastically, record the best memories of the couple's life with the lens, and protect the collection with care.
