Hey everyone,
I am building a system, and I am wondering what the best set up for HDDs is for editing HD (HDV) video?
System is a Q6600 with a gigabyte DS3.
I like the reviews for this drive: SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD501LJ 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
I am just thinking to get only 1 Samsung Spinpoint 500 gb drive for the video and materials, and reuse an old 80gig HDD for the OS and programs. Will this be an efficient enough setup for editing this type of video?
I will use some external 300gb HDDs for backups and long term storage.
I have no experience with RAID of any kind, but I do realize it would provide a boost in performance and even backups, BUT would it really be worth the hassle and extra cost?
Basically, I need reliable, fairly quick, good through put, large, and reasonably priced HDDs.
What model drives would you recommend and what type of setup would be ok or the best?
Thanks!
