Components<br />
<br />
=Hard Drives=<br />
<br />
==Storage Transfer Drives (STDs)==<br />
'''Purpose:''' storage media for copies of acquired media or SIPs arranged by archivists<br />
<br />
'''Requirements:'''<br />
*Minimize transfer time<br />
**Limiting factor for transfer rate is likely bus transfer rate, not read/write speed of disk.<br />
*At least 1TB in size<br />
*Flexibility to interface with different types of Producer systems<br />
*reliable, not prone to overheating<br />
'''Hardware:'''<br />
*Internal drive, plus<br />
**Portable drive enclosure(s) <br />
**Interface Options - USB 2.0/Firewire<br />
***eSATA not desireable for transfer from producer systems - requires eSATA card on producer computer; still desirable for copying onsite<br />
<br />
<br />
'''HDD formatting:'''<br />
*Windows - use NTFS<br />
*Mac - HFS+ (Mac non-journalled)<br />
*Linux - ext2<br />
<br />
<br />
Need:<br />
20-30 hdds<br />
4-6 enclosures<br />
<br />
==STD copies==<br />
'''Purpose:''' Storage media for back-up copy of STD/SIP until ingest is complete and AIP storage is confirmed<br />
'''Requirements:'''<br />
*Different brands/manufacturers to minimize risk of systematic mfg failure<br />
Same options as for STDs<br />
<br />
<br />
=DA Stations=<br />
<br />
==Duplication Station==<br />
'''Purpose:''' Make back-up copies of STD<br />
<br />
'''Requirements'''<br />
Processing power<br />
<br />
'''Hardware'''<br />
PC - no Windows O/S (run Ubuntu natively)<br />
'''2''' or 4 bay enclosure w. eSATA connection<br />
<br />
<br />
==Processing Station==<br />
'''Purpose:''' Transforms SIP(s) taken from STD to AIP(s) and writes to Archival Transfer Disk (ATD)<br />
<br />
Requirements:<br />
*Lots of processing power<br />
*I/O Interface; either:<br />
**USB/Firewire/eSATA ports<br />
**link to external hdd enclosure - multi bay (2-4 drives)<br />
<br />
<br />
==Archival Transfer Station==<br />
'''Purpose:''' Reads AIP(s) from ATD and uploads to networked archival storage<br />
<br />
'''Requirements'''<br />
<br />
'''Hardware'''<br />
<br />
==Mac Station==<br />
'''Purpose''' Appraising mac specific formats - mostly audio, video and image formats and related software</div>Sromkey
