Hi, Im recently new to RAID's and have been researching and learning quite a bit about them for the past couple of weeks. I do video editing with HDSLR video and graphic design, as well as some visual effects and some light 3d rendering.
The applications I use are mainly Adobe production Suite 5.5 (After Effects, Premier, Photoshop, and Illustrator).
I just bought two 1tb Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 HDD's for around $70 and I am wanting to build an external RAID configuration (maybe NAS?). I'm trying to build it inexpensively while still being efficient (I don't want it to be a cheap piece of junk ).
What sort of external storage device does anybody recommend for what I will be doing? I don't need anything hardcore at this point as I mostly do this out of hobby (not for a business or anything large like that), I mostly just need the essentials for building my RAID so that I will get satisfying/quick performance out of it.
Do you think I need both RAID 1 and RAID 0 together? or should I just stick with a RAID 0/1?
My main concern is finding out which components that anyone recommends with a low budget such as mine?
Anybody's input would be much appreciated,
thank you!
