  Final Cut Pro Workflow

  Posted by Daniel Garriga on March 4, 2010 at 4:07 pm

  Hello all,

  Question… Is it faster to work on Final Cut Pro (SD or HD footage) using a G-Raid external drive using FIREWIRE 800 or to use the internal Hard Drives on a Mac Pro tower?

  We have dual core Power PC, a Quad Power PC, an an 8 Core Xeon Mac.

  The G-RAIDs are 2 hard drives striped together as RAID 0. So that is faster than a single internal drive of your Mac.

  Just be sure you backup whatever you put on the G-RAID. We have a bunch here at my work and they seem reliable, but you can’t be too careful with RAID 0 set ups

  Thanks for the response! Yes we have about 10 g-raids ranging from the 1tb to 3tb range each and we’ve never had any problems. The most I do is backing up the FCP project files on our server. Backing up all the media that lives on these drives would require another 5 or 6 TB of additional space! Damn…
