yes, but make sure it’s an internal raid FW800. Like the medea G-Raid or a Lacie (I don’t recommend Lacie. They get really hot, and I’ve had 2 of their drives bust on me)

Hi,

Uncompressed 10-bit NTSC will require about 27MB/sec. Make sure that your drive is capable of sustaining this speed.

FW800 drives will work for capturing and playback of uncompressed SD video. Don’t expect much in terms of the number of streams you can play at once though.

Digital Heaven, https://www.digital-heaven.co.uk make a nice little widjet for your dashboard which will calculate disk space required for a given capture time in various codecs, or capture time available for a given amount of space. They have some nice effects plug ins too.
