Help me give my students an external hard drive for video editing projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Perrotti's classroom raised $992

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are in need of an external backup hard drives for our many video projects that we create.

Our video files take up a lot of space and this drive would greatly help our with our projects and give us the space needed to create them!

Most of our new projects are filmed at high quality 4K settings and they take up a ton of storage space within our lab. With this drive, we can expand our storage capabilities and would allow us to do more and create more student work!
