It works both ways. If you needed to archive 60,000 35mm transparencies,
you might prefer a 2TB hard disk drive to the alternative.
60000 trasnparencies is jut over 2TB (assuming 35MB per image -- note
that I use the 'real' defiintions of MB, GB, TB, etc going up in
multiples of 1024). But anyway...
60000 trasparenices would be 300 boxes (assuming 500 to a box, which is
quite reasoable). That's not that much to store.
But with the sort of storage I use, 2TB ia nearly 75000 RK07 packs (!). I
suspec, acutally, you might get an image on a pack (28MB packs) with
sensible compression or reduction in resolution. In any case, an RK07
pack is a lot larger than a 35mm slide.

A decent
35mm colour transparency carries about 35 megabytes of 8 bit
RGB or CMYK (10-15 megapixels, roughly).
Which, if I've worked it out properly, is nearly 306 full reels of paper
tape. And for medium/large format film, even more...
Thanks, but I'll stick to film :-)
