While many cameras today record to tapeless media, recording to MiniDV tape for SD or HDV still provides the best low budget video quality, ease of editing, and, most importantly, instant archivability. But what to do with all these tapes? Most storage systems specifically for MiniDV tapes are very expensive, don't hold very many tapes or are designed to be mounted on walls. The best solution we've found is the Sterilite 7-Drawer Craft Cart. Available at Target and Amazon.com for about $40, each of the unit's 12"x12" transparent drawers holds 76 tapes in the preferred vertical position for a total of 532 tapes for the seven drawers, and each drawer has a removable hinged lid that snaps closed. They sell a cheaper version without the lids, but the drawers don't easily come all the way out, so it's hard to see the tapes in the back without risking spilling them all. We label our tapes on the spine of the actual cassette, starting with the date, so they can be easily organized and located. If you know of a better low budget storage system for lots of MiniDV tapes, let us know.
