I assume you inadvertently added an extra ‘0’ to the price. Even so, I’d do
a 10TB or more HDD (not SSD). That is what I have on our widefield live
imaging system and lightsheet and it works well for semi-temporary storage,
and yes I do need that much space for widefield live imaging in a
multi-user facility; 4TB would be a bit inconvenient for me as I’d have to
get data out more frequently. One 10TB HDD should be about $300, and I
guess you’d need two for backup/parallel RAID array.
