    I’m curious if anyone in this forum being that it is about RAIDs I know the IOfx card is another speed accelerator

    But I have yet to see anything in post production

    What is the status quo on this? Is it not like flash RAM?

    It claims to be faster than SSDs

    So in tandem with a nice RAID wouldn’t this be the dream 4k online machine ?

    Thanks sir Bob and the team

    I’m not Bob, nor do I play him on TV, but… I have sold several Fusion IOFX cards in our ProMAX ONE and ONE Plus workstations, and indeed they can make a huge difference in 4K/5K playback. FYI, we stripe two together in our highest end configs…

    FYI, not only are they faster than SSDs, they have essentially zero latency, which cannot be said of many SSDs when striped together in RAID configurations.

    Hope this helps…

    and Neil Smith of Lumaforge was demonstrating these at NAB playing back 6K RED footage !
    Yes, they are very cool. But of course, you dont get 48 TB of storage with this !
