Storage Requirements: For AJA video editing systems we recommend a bare minimum of three hard drives. One for the operating system and programs, One (or raid set) for source files and capturing, and the third (or raid set) for rendering (both temporary and final output). For AVCHD, XDCAM, Red 2K 2 sets of raid 0 is highly recommended. for Red 4K and others it varies based on workflow and effects/Layers. You may also want to consider adding an archival or backup drive to protect your work from disaster. An internal drive is slightly faster, doesn't take up space on your desk, and in a pinch it can substitute for a source or render drive if needed. However, if anything truly nasty happens to the computer, its internal drives can all be damaged. An external drive, such as an ESata or NAS llke the Drobo are good soulutions though it does take up some desk space, can be easily detached from the computer and stored in a safe location until it is needed. A removeable hard drive bay combines the best features of these two types of drive. The drive bay connects as an internal hard drive for speed and space, but it can be easily removed (from the outside of the case) for storage. While Raid 5 is a nice way to acheive redundancy, again you should still have an external solution. When it comes to hard drive space, more is better, you do not want to fill your drives past 65%. While DV video doesn't really take up all that much space, if you are running uncompressed and/or HD video, you can quickly fill drives. More importantly is HDD thruput The following chart shows the approximate drive space usage and speed required for several common types of video: DV: 13 gigs/hour and 25mbits (3.6MBps) thruput, HDV(thru firewire) is the same. |
