How do you all deal with ever expanding data storage needs? NAS/cloud/?

Would especially love to hear from folks who record high-res animal behavior videos. I'm already seeing data for *one* project hitting double digit terabytes. #lablife #neuroscience

@dhananjaythakur This is a challenge! h265 encoding of video can save a lot of space. Companies like 45drives.com offer really affordable solutions, but you should talk to your dept/university IT department because labs shouldn't be managing their own storage. Some places, like gin.g-node.org offer free storage (up to some limit).

@jerlich I recently discovered the magic of ffmpeg conversion to h265. Incredible stuff!
