Re: HD Capture: What drives to buy: FINAL
by Bill Crocker on Jul 16, 2008 at 8:56:18 pm

Just to let everyone know what I went with and why:

I picked the Sonnet Fusion D550P 5TB arrays(2) and the Tempo E4P.
The 26 part show was shot DVCProHD 1080i60 and will be delivered and mastered in SD only (not my call). We are posting the show DVCProHD 1080i60 and doing the conversion to letterboxed SD at the end (this way, when they want to do HD eventually, it will already be done).
Since the footage is only 14.5MB/sec, we left the drives JBOD for capture so we could put 3 to 4 episodes per disc.
This will also help with archiving as we only need to replace a single drive rather than all of them (if they were RAIDed).
Replacing all the drives for higher end HD work in the future will be easy.
Total cost for 10TB storage was around $5200 CAD.

This is the first series I have done in HD (we did the same show last year in SD) so I hope I made the right choice. I guess I'll know in a few weeks.

Thanks for all the input.
