Uncompressed HD on the internal Hard drive of my mAC??????can i do that?

[Walter Biscardi]

[ryanservant] “re these drives fast enough for me to edit with uncompressed HD?”

Doubtful they would have the sustained throughput for uncompressed HD. DVCPro HD or HDV sure, but uncompressed, not likely.

If you are doing 8 bit 24fps 4:2:2

You are @ the limit so in the begining of the disk it might even handle – I have two striped 300GB disk and I have plyabakc for about 20min or so – but nothing that I would work with

If you are looking for a cheaper solution look @ transintl swift data 200 and sonnet 4+4 card

then you can have decent array inside yer G5

I’ve been looking into this setup myself. It looks very promising.

I’m definately not an expert, but you might check out Promax.com as well. They have SATA solutions that are very promising. I just bought the new Sonnet x8 card with 8 ports and a 4bay sata array from Kano Technologies. Not fast enough for HD, but it will do 8 bit uncompressed. Only cost me $1,300 for a 1 TB array. You’ll see the links to similar info in the other posts to your question. The beauty it down the road I can add another 4 bay for about $1,000 and have a 2 TB drive array that many say is capable of HD, see the barefeats.com web site.

OR you should check out the new Huge Fibre Channel SATA array. You can get a 1+ TB for about $8,000. Part of the cost is the $1,800 fibre channel card you have to buy. Otherwise, its definately where the industry is going to go.

Have a blast.

I use eight of these:

They’re cheap and they’re 100% silent. Works great but takes up a lot of table or desk space.

I am just going to build my own Sata external drives. I just bought: 1 Sonnet 8 slot PCI card, 8 seagate 400gb hard drives, and 4 firmtek dual enclosures.

Hope I can figure all of it out.
