I used to try and use just one hard drive for all of my data, that idea crashed when my old system became redundant. I should be using a server with dedicated disk shelf which my son has (HP C7000 blade cabinet with 16 individual blade servers) but that got expensive to run and we haven't turned either on for some time. Now I just have stuff spread across multiple hard drives (around 14TB of hard drive capacity in 2TB drives. Luckily for me I have a crappy memory and have no idea where anything is now.
My main practise used to be memory card dumps onto a specific drive placed in aptly name folders. The individual frames have times in the data so I know which exposure time was used. I believe most people now use the cloud but I don't like the cloud (or the stuff outside which looks like it will still be around tomorrow when I want to look for the devils comet).
