Thanks for posting Keith!
Nice! Is that 1 camera angle or did you have multiple tracks in 1080p stacked?
February can’t come soon enough!

Hey Keith,
i’m also very curious how that 6 core performs! I’ve ordered mine also only with the D700’s. how much RAM did you configure?

Thanks Rick,
Actually that sounds like a very good solution but is the T3 for sale already? Couldn’t find it in stores yet.
It’ll be either that trick or put 3 HDD’s in RAID 0 in that T3 and have an external HDD as a backup disk (I have quite a few of them, might as well put em to good use).
Thing is only that with SSD’s that big, the difference in price with a pegasus r6 (6TB version) isn’t that big anymore is it?

What about the Lacie 2Big or this one: https://www.caldigit.com/T3/
The T3 has a lot better read/write speed.

Hey John , thanks for your reply,
Usually I drag the Spill level slider all the way to the left (that’s 0 right?) exactly because of that weird tint. Probably because I use GH3 cams that only have 4:2:0 colour space. In fact, I realised that my old panasonic hdc-sd60 is actually easier to use for chroma keying than my gh3, I have no idea why though…
But I’m curious, when you use spill level, do you colour correct the magenta?

Thanks! I’ll check those disks out. I also say these https://www.caldigit.com/T3/
Impressive performance!

Thanks David Roth! “You can most definitely use your Lacie for backup, but not as RAID-1 – RAID-1, or mirroring, requires two identical drives.” I didn’t know that but makes sense. I guess that means I could not set up 2 different external drives and set them up as a RAID.
In any case RAID has become a lot clearer now and I will probably use the LACIE in RAID 0 and have it backed up by time machine or CC cloner. ( I was going to use CC cloner to make a clone of my bootdrive so whenever I was going to need a fresh install I could use the clone )Andre

Thanks olof ekbergh!
I think for now RAID 5 will be too much space for me to handle. The RAID 0 probably what I’ll be doing but I didn’t know I could use Time Machine also for external storage so I’ll definitely check to see if it works the way I want.
But essentially I could have a fast RAID 0 that will be backed up by a slow HD and I can choose which folders it backs up and which folders it doesn’t.
I did find the time machine backup folders to become quite large over time, as it is keeping files in there I’ve already deleted. Do you manually delete those files in Time Machine after your project is done?

[Chris Kenny]“I think if I mostly just ran FCP X I’d have gone for the stock 6-core model. Maybe the D700 upgrade anyway just because that $600 price is so attractive.”
That is exactly why I chose the 6 core model! Wanted to go for 8 cores at first but couldn’t justify that extra €1500,- for those 2 cores. Went with the D700’s because at €600 they’re a bargain. Just starting to work in Resolve so I’m glad to see you picked the D700’s because of Resolve.
I’m very happy with what’s coming in february. Only hope 32GB is enough for my sample libraries but we’ll see. 🙂

“I’ve got a 1TB drive in my iMac and I’ve really enjoyed having that capacity after using 320GB boot drive for many years.”
My iMac has a bootdrive of 380GB (500GB in total), but still, most of it are samples, etc. (my applications folder which holds the CS6 premium collection, and a number of other pro apps is only about 40GB) A lot of that stuff can be placed on very cheap external drives or RAID. If I want everything on my bootdrive the 1TB drive would be my best option but at +800 euros I can spend that on a super fast RAID that has more storage capacity.
