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

That is probably less of an issue then for Apple. Doesn't seem to work that way. I've had too many customers who have had to send their Apple laptops back multiple times (usually not for a hard disk problem though). Thats what I'm talking about, upgrades not repairs dur to failing drives or memory. Espically is the system is intended to run a long time, then your more likely to want to upgrade the storage or ram to keep the system longer. » POSTED IN:
