I saw on their tweetings they wrote a driver for it. I can’t say that I recommend the OWC Auras as I haven’t been able to test one. The reviews were a mixed bag initially but they seem to have improved.

I recommend the newer model 1TB Samsung drives which I see online, and to clarify the SSD is user replaceable in the manual. I didn’t mean to insinuate there were readily available drives everywhere just that it’s possible.

I’m interested in testing out the new NVIDIA card with a Tbolt3 machine in a chassis. That is with the if’s , will there be driver for it, will there be a compatible Tbolt3 chassis, etc.

The ifs…

Thanks! Perhaps they’re worth another look.

Those are what we’re running now. I was wondering if there was a denser, non-RAID 2TB stick available anywhere yet, but I haven’t seen them yet.

Thanks again for the detailed response.

[Walter Soyka] “Out of curiousity, what kinds of GPU-related tasks are you guys generally getting bogged down with?”

In the day to day editing, not much even editing Red RAW footage. It’s the transcoding of the Red footage to proxy on features that is the bottleneck, but it’s still at least realtime depending on the camera with the D700s.

When it’s a big rush I rent a Red Rocket card.

The numbers on these new cards look awesome on paper, makes me tempted to rebuild a cMP for myself to transcode dailies.
