Hi Bob:

thanks… i think… for your reply. You are definitely right, although I can’t tell whether or not if you’re trying to scold me for holding on to this tape for so long!

In answer to your question, I don’t have hi8 or Beta anymore. Or, were you just furthering my public humiliation? ????

best of luck with your Lotus project

Figures! But from what i’ve read on the fusion drive… it’s insanely fast.

[Berry Helfand]

Thanks for the detailed response Mark.

I’m actually not planning to put any media on the fusion drive. That’s part of the reason for the PCI expansion chassis… so i can use my existing hardware and drives. I have a few RAID 5 drives… but mostly I edit on an OWC Mercury Elite QX-2 and a RocStor ARCTICROC 12Tb.

Actually… in regards to your iMac…wondering how you get 2 drives in an iMac… an SSD and a Hard Drive?

I got the biggest fusion drive cuz it just seemed like a decent price to add 2 more TB ($150).

I certainly plan on getting a thunderbolt or USB 3 raid when I need more storage… which is why I opted for the docking port, so i wouldn’t waste one of the 2 thunderbolt ports on my monitor.

Hi Dave: I am talking legacy FCP

[Berry Helfand]

I’m currently running 6.0.3, but this update hasn’t shown up in “software update”.

Shouldn’t it just update automatically, or do i have to manually download something?

[Berry Helfand]

Figured that was the answer.

I’m going with the tried and true method. Bump the footage to HDCam and be done with it!

thanks.

[Berry Helfand]

that explains it! thanks.

is the x800 pci-x?

[Berry Helfand]

thanks walter. Could you tell me the exact specs on that card so i can price it out.

Is it just nVidia Ultra 6800? there seems to be a few different ones on the web.

thanks.
