Make your data fitthe drives you have.

Plan how your data fits on limited HDD and SSD capacity. Try different assignments and compare used space, free space and the room needed for backups.

Plan room for backups

Find an arrangement that fits before moving files

Keep active material on a working SSD and completed projects on an archive HDD—but how much space will remain after the move? Storage Organization Planner lets you try the arrangement before moving files.

Register each drive’s capacity and the size of your data groups to see which arrangements fit. Include the space needed for backups in the same plan.

Register capacity and assign data

Add the HDDs and SSDs you use with their capacities.
Add groups such as source footage, photos and project files with their sizes.
Assign destinations and compare used and free space.
Reassign groups when a drive is too full, and include a backup destination where needed.

A sample plan comparing SSD and HDD capacities with their assigned data — Compare each SSD or HDD’s capacity with the total size of the data assigned to it. This is a sample plan. (Japanese interface.)

Balance an active SSD and an archive HDD

A 500 GB SSD holding 240 GB of footage and 80 GB of project data leaves 180 GB in the plan. You could assign 650 GB of completed videos to a 2 TB HDD, trying the allocation before moving anything.

Check how much room to leave on the SSD and whether a backup destination also fits. Seeing the numbers and assignments together reduces the need to move files again after discovering a shortage.

Carry out the arrangement you chose

The chosen plan shows which data belongs on each drive and how much room remains. Refer to it while organizing files to avoid discovering that a destination is full partway through a move.

Update the sizes as your data grows, then use the plan to decide where to put new material and backups.
