It allows me to scan all my photos and and negatives I have, and I can store them on my cloud or external hard drive which is nice.

Had old slides from over 50 years ago that I wanted to scan to my hard drive.

Well, then contract a vendor to do them for 60 cents per slide and then sell you an external hard drive with your scans on it...plus shipping...plus expedited service...plus insurance which will give you a few dollars if the shipper looses all your slides so instead of your photos you'll have like $300 and the horror of loosing priceless, irreplaceable pictures

With the size of hard drives, external drives, the cloud, and NAS storage these days size is not as critical to me as having a scan that has the necessary detail and resolution without being so big the file won't open

I bought this scanner to scan both documents and photographs to upload to an external hard drive in an effort to cut down on paper clutter

We also sprang for an external hard drive and docking station for a super backup

We were disappointed to find out we had to have this attached to a computer as the scans are SO LARGE it will take quite a hard drive to save all our family history we need to digitize.

Save to an external hard drive (1 Terabyte for $49) using an external hard drive plug-n-play docking station ($20).Store the slides in a cool, dark place

By the way: for my 5,400 slides it would cost at least $3,240 to have them scanned (plus shipping, plus hard drive they return the scans on, etc.).For that much money I could: buy this Epson v600 and pay friend, young relative, random weirdo off CraigsList,college student, neighbor $3000 to do the actual scanning for me!If anything I gave you: a template to plan your project/setup/costs & some easy start-up settings to get great slide scans
