    Should I be capturing data for Vegas Pro to a RAID or a simple single drive? I’ve always used RAIDs for video capture, edit and playback.

    Good, bad, pros, cons?

    Thanks.

    My C:\ and D:\ are both RAID 0 with two disks each.

    I was told that it does very little to have C:\ in RAID 0, so I plan to make C:\ a standalone single drive, and put D:\ in RAID 5, with three disks (and also back that up externally). That way, if anything bad happens, I don’t lose data.

    I was told to render to D:\Temp, and it seems to work.

    I’ve been using Vegas, even with HDV for years on single drives, mostly 7200 rpm, but it’ll even work with external 5400 rpm usb2 drives, just a little slow. Now if you are capturing uncompressed video you will defenitly need a raid 0 array. Danny Hays
