Winter 2022 Feature Pro-Build Solution

The Challenge

Perhaps the last two years of working from home has served as the impetus for purging, organizing, and maximizing the most used spaces in your work/live/play hybrid spaces. You've fastidiously cleaned out your closets, your garage, your attic - any place where the "stuff" gathers. You've sorted the accumulated memorabilia into piles marked "Keep", "Donate" and "Recycle".

You've gotten into a rhythm, and parting with keepsakes has become easier and easier. That is, until you come across the shoebox collection of old family photos, passed on to you from your parents and grandparents, from a time when it was unimaginable that you would someday be able to slide a camera into your back pocket. The bin of your kids' artwork and school projects and awards. The important paper documents that really should be stored securely somewhere, just in case...

The Solution

When the time has come to finally digitize your memories and essential paperwork, you need a process that will ensure you can quickly and easily transform your hard copies into digital files, and store them safely and securely. The right tools for this process can make all the difference in getting the job done.

Mac Zen's Winter 2022 Pro-Build Solution will help you archive your memories. This premium package includes:

Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500
This sleek, professional image scanner enables you to load up to 50 documents at once, making scanning large volumes of paper files efficient. Its wireless connectivity, an intuitive touch screen and advanced software, "ScanSnap Home", enable you to do anything from scanning papers, converting them into fully editable files, to utilizing data in your commonly used applications. It also features Dust Detection and Streak Reduction to ensure the images are captured pristinely.

Drobo 5D3 with 18TB of Physicial Storage
For unparalleled DAS file storage, the Drobo 5D3 is an exceptional product favoured by creative professionals who store large quantities of sizeable files like high-resolution images and videos. Drobo uses what they call BeyondRAID technology, which stores your data across several drives, ensuring that if one drive happens to be compromised, your files remain intact. Drobo 5D3 is flexible and expandable, enabling you to add drives as you need, rather than having to purchase a whole new back-up device when you deplete the fixed storage capacity. This premium system makes digitally archiving your memories safe, secure, and seamless.

This Pro-Build package also includes 2.5 hours of our expert Apple IT support. We set up and customize your new devices, show you how to make the best use of their features, and help you get started migrating your important files.
