My partner, an artist, has more than 10 external hardisks both USB and firewire and every 2-3 months a new one has to be added (She's working with videos and pictures) currently its >10TB and growing so too much for a affordable NAS. Right now the files are not indexed and I think can not be searched with spotlight because not all drives can be connected at the same time. So if she wants to search for a file, she has to guess which disk/disks (based mostly on the date) and then search several drives.

Now I'm looking for a solution to index/catalog the drives, something like

GentibusCD

Cathy

Disclib

(all these solutions are unfortunately Windows only)

Is there any software for OSX that will catalog all the hard drives, so she can search the catalog, find the files, and get the ID of the disk / disk name that has the content?

• Preferably something with a GUI so my partner can also use it easily
• Preferably with Thumbnails for pictures/videos

(But even an equivalent to "tree /F /A" would be better than nothing)
