AVID LVD drive replacement

[Bob Zelin]

There is no such thing as an AVID drive. AVID does not make drives -they make a box.

AVID used to use Seagate SCSI drives, and now use Hitachi/IBM SCSI drives.
They work just fine, and you can just get anybodys drive enclosure to run these drives in. Make sure you turn off drive filtering in settings/media creation, or settings/general.

HOW DARE YOU ASK an AVID question on this AJA forum.

Because here he will get a real answer… not Bull S**t from the AVID world.

I guess owning a particular product equals honesty? Or are you saying COW AJA is more honest than COW Avid?
There is less censorship in Avid owned forum than Apple’s.

Thanks for the information Bob – I guess I’m just a daring kind of guy. We don’t usually shout at each other on this side of the pond though, especially if you’re replying to someone you don’t know. This is a community right?

My mistake for asking the wrong forum – but at the same time I love a dare.

Anyone (including angry Bob) from the Avid or AJA (what is AJA?) forum like to comment on a good drive/enclosure with helpfull specs like LVD/seek time – you know, tech’ type stuff.

Fred – thanks for making me laugh 🙂 I take your point about Avid bull – I’ve smelt a lot of it over the years. I assume you meant the organisation and not the people that operate them.

I’m off to ask about a DVD sudio pro isssue in the Sonic forum now – wish me luck!

All the best.

Hey Bob

Why don’t you tell him about Huge arrays? They do work with Avid, and are much more affordable.
