HDD Folder oranization
enine | Feb 21 2006
How is everyone organizing their electronic data? I started out years ago with MS Outlook and hit the 2G limit early on so I ended up having to archive data monthly which resulted in a folder structure based around monthly archives like this: 2006 So I started following this structure and would store other files such as bank statements, pictures, invoices, etc in those folders. Problem now is finding anything I have to wait for a search to crawl through all those folders or remember when I did something or have some sort of index to it. I usually end up just hunting through the various years and months looking for what I want rather than keeping an index up to date so I'm looking for better suggestions as to how to organize inportant files. 25 Comments

I never have undstood the hype over Apple's hardware, things like this where they are behind everyone else. Its almost a given standard now that hdd's are on removable trays to make support faster That is probably less of an issue then for Apple. First of all, their philosophy is to present a closed box that works as designed for a very, very long time. I can't recall a disk failing in any of my PowerBooks or iBooks over the decade or so that I've had them. And when you are sending something in for support, it goes to Apple and THEY are the ones that are doing swaps and such, so it doesn't have to be user-accessible. Maybe easily user-accessible translates to easily user-breakable. » POSTED IN:
