Re: RAID HBA options

Jim,

The best way to test your storage capabilities is to install all the drives, build a RAID, and then start throwing video formats at it...

test each format limitations (because they all require different response times...)

for example you may find that you can run 5 or 6 streams of DV25 off the RAID with those drives, but if you try to run 1 stream of Pro Res it could fail.

Play with it, get some ideas from others here like the one above. Tell us how far it goes. That's your limitation on the drives.

Keeping in mind all the hardware plays a role, and all the different options you could configure will play a role in the performance profile of the entire configuration.

Keep us posted.
