As of August 2004, one can buy a 200GB external USB2.0 hard drive for ~$200. As most vendors charge an average of $25 per CD, any delivery of 10 CDs or more should come on a hard drive. Aside from cost savings, loading from a hard drive saves time. It is much easier and expedient for Litigation Support to copy a single hard drive to the server than to copy 10 CDs.
Our firm prefers to receive productions greater than 10 CDs on an external hard drive with a USB2.0 connection. To learn the latest preferences, please contact Litigation Support.
