I have been shooting both digital stills and HD for many years and P2 since Jan 05. We have a 3 copy rule for images before we will reuse a P2 or CF card (yes, 2 copies should be enough but you know how stuff happens...) We currently carry 5-6 1TB Western Digital Pro drives. They are fast, made up of 2 500gb drives in a ready-to-use raid and have FW 800. They have a fan and you will see people online complaining about that but it's not a problem and the new ones are much better. Best thing is they are cheap ($360.00) and very fast. I love them. When we return we backup everything to cheaper, slow-ass USB drives and then go back out with the 1TB's for the next shoot. Of course you could save the time and keep buying more 1TB drives.
