Now that most people have migrated to digital photography and easy to shoot videos many companies are jumping on the storage bandwagon. You know, shoebox sized external drives that will hold most of the contents of the Library of Congress. Well now, Fabrik, a San Mateo company, hopes to profit from people who’ve signed off on the digital revolution and have grown up and beyond MySpace and YouTube. So they want to make sure their photos, videos and documents are preserved, come computer crash or stolen laptop, and are more interested in sharing with select friends and family, and not necessarily the online world. Fabrik, offers two levels of service, one purely Web-based and another that includes not-so-cheap hardware. This home Web server, by the name of Maxtor Fusion, can store 500 gigabytes of content and retails for a hefty $799. If that’s a bit rich for you, Fabrik offers an online service. That’ll cost you 99 cents a month for 1GB of online storage, and 49 cents a month more for each additional gigabyte. My, how we’ve moved on from the days when everything went in a box on top of the wardrobe, to be promptly forgotten forever. Wish they could still do that with most of the junk people love to put on MySpace and YouTube!
That's gonna cost ya about $100K a month!
