Hi Jon,

Raid0 was a failure because the intel rapid storage technology application showed me red cross mark on both raid disks (6tb WD). There was also “error occurred in member raid disk” during computer restart.

Now I deleted the raid0 volume and created the raid0 volume again (before my first post). Now the application shows the raid drives are Normal and a folder with 10TB created in my computer.

My doubt was that now it shows normal, so the disks might work good and there was a problem in raid0 setup. Because the disk are presumably good, shall i go forward with raid1 volume creation?

thanks Jon 🙂

A doubt is that .. is raid0 failure a failure of the setup or the disks as such? because am gonna use the same two drives for creating raid1 volume. Currently it is in raid0 (reconnected after the first failure) and normal. I am gonna change to raid1. So i presume it is the set up of raid0 that is failing rather than the disks and so i can go ahead creating raid1 with those two same WD 6tb drives right?

Thanks Jon,

my project is an indie film intended to get buyers for release. There is no deadline. All i have to worry is for quality.

Raid with at least 8 drives is good but I cannot afford currently 🙁

My footage is 5d3 magic lantern raw files (1920X1080) which require 150 mb/s transfer rate. I recently found that one of my external WD hard disks provided me a real time playback during a trial roundtrip. So my raid set up with two 6tb WD, I hope, would give me enough speed even if I use raid1 (totaling only half the capacity of two drives and the speed of a single drive). But like you told, I will be working for a long time with raid, so raid1 would be better compared to raid0. Even if i am short of space, I can write my rendering data to an external drive. All i need for video editing is the read speed.

Just wanted to know if the above sounds good (with raid1) for my indie project. thanks again

thanks bob.. I opted for raid0, mainly for space and speed. My source footage is 3TB. For roundtrip, i create a proxy which would be around 1TB and take a colored master of about 2TB back to premiere for final DCP output (theater).

So, i am sure i need a total of 6TB. So if i want to connect raid using asus z87pro motherboard, i was suggested raid0 or raid1. Now after ur suggestion, if i chose raid1 over raid0, i can manage with the speed but doubt for space as I have two 6tb WD red hard drives. Or will raid-1 be fine for the space requirement? thanks

thanks brother. The manual says, “Due to chipset limitation, when SATA ports are set to RAID mode, all SATA ports run at RAID mode together,” which I do not understand.

1) If all SATA ports run at RAID mode, but only two of which are RAID-enabled hard disks, what problems will we face with the non-raid hard disks running in raid mode?

2) Also, you told I can connect the bootable drive (C:/) to ‘other’ port (other than RAID, i presume). Can you suggest me the other port as there are lots of connectors? Did you mean ASmedia Sata connector?

thanks again..

[Anand Kamal]

yes thanks..

[Anand Kamal]

i am using intel

[Anand Kamal]

i reinstalled and the whole frame flickering is now fine, but black flickering at the top of the footage remains after rendering out.

Thanks brother. I use lots of footage: for independent filmmaking. Can you suggest me a faster drive?

My source footage is magic lantern RAW (1920 X 1080). I tried a trial roundtrip with some RAW footage in resolve 11, the speed is only 5-6fps even with dnxhd 36, while exporting proxies for premierepro editing. The footage was never viewed, just exported after importing.

I thought resolve did not load cuda and is why it’s not showing the “GPU processing mode” in “Preferences” menu. I didn’t know cuda will be automatically be used. But such slow speed, despite recognizing cuda?

system specs:
i7-4770 CPU, 3.40 GHz
32 GB RAM
64bit
NVIDIA Geforce gtx 780 3gb
geforce driver 344.48
CUDA tool kit is 6.5 (installed but not sure if it is connected to the hardware)

Here are the rendering speeds: rendered out to DNxHD 36 8bit:
From DNxHD 36 8bit files to DNxHD 36 8bit – speed 70-80fps
From new RAW files to dnxhd 36 – speed: just 4-11 fps
From already used source RAW footage (used to render out to dnxhd yesterday) now when rendered again through fresh resolve project shows – speed 70-75 fps.

so I thought the cursor should go from beginning footage to end at least once. Then imported a new set of RAW footage, played it once till the end, then rendered out to dnxhd 36 8bit, speed is 80fps. But,

The problem is I am doing a roundtrip, I won’t be viewing the footage, I will just create proxies and view in premiere. So the ‘never-viewed’ clips will take render speed to only 4-11 fps. Can i do something to enhance the speed? like, preserving a particular percentage of RAM or something to resolve?

pls help. Thanks.
