Description

I jumped out of bed, grabbed my coffee and sat down at my computer—excited to deliver the images I just spent all night editing. I turned my computer on, took a sip of coffee, and sat there waiting for my hard drive to load… Waiting… Waiting… Waiting… Something was wrong… My hard drive would not load… cue sheer and utter panic It was that morning that my hard drive completely failed, the hard drive I had been filling with my work for years. I lost YEARS of work in an instant. It was my worst nightmare. This is what can happen when you use the wrong hard drives and don’t have proper file organization systems in place. Knowing what hard drives to use and how to properly backup your images can make or break your business. Which is why I’m sharing ALL about hard drives in this episode, because I want to make sure you don’t lose any of those incredible images you’ve worked so hard to create.
