New Harddrive for Editing HD

[Mark Laslo]

Would it make sense to get two 2 TB drives and raid those together and leave the 1 TB alone since I already have 300 GB of media on the 1 TB drive that came with the Mac or should I try and move it around and try and get 3 2 TB drives or 3 1 TB drives?

I saw somebody’s signature that said hindsight is 1080P and I noticed with the AVG-HMC150 that it seemed like there was more of a stutter in Final Cut Pro when moving the camera in 60i but when I put it into 30p it seemd to work a lot nicer. Maybe my eyes were playing tricks.

I believe Steve is wrong…a lot of formats shoot in 1080 progressive. Most (if not all) of them use a thing called segmented frames. (Psf) It’s like interlacing, but both *fields* represent the same moment of time. Here’s a link:

I don’t know a TON about this…but I’ve had experience with progressive formats in 1080 (GoPro footage – XDCAM HD422 30p) and they display back properly with my KONA and Matrox with the 1080 psf / 1080i and 1080 29.97p display settings.

One more question,

Would 3 of these drives work together. I was readings something about the drive requiring TLER in order to support RAId. I’m not sure if this is just for windows or for OS X as well.
