Matching Storage for my forseeable needs
by Rhys Ludlow on May 11, 2008 at 3:45:52 pm

I'm putting together a new system and need some storage recommendations. Before I get flamed, I have searched the forums for about an hour and surprisingly I've come up with nada.

I will primarily be using an Aja I/O HD with a new MacPro tower so I'll likely be editing ProRes HQ. I want to get at least 6 realtime streams.
Occasionally, I can forsee getting some uncompressed 10 Bit HD. I'm willing (at those times) to slog through with 2 streams.

The trick here is to buy what's adequate for my needs but not to overbuy speed I'll never need. Hoping to find maximum TB in $4K range

I do NOT want to build my own raid. And I don't want it inside the MacPro.

I've checked the manufauturers websites and they are sneaky. Cal digit shows an HD Element (4 drive raid) with specs that fit my needs but in the fine print it says they were using 8 drives?? I guess that's 2 units? Seems really deceptive to me.

Any specific products I should look at?
