No, the icon didn’t unmount. In fact I could still see the directories folders in the root of the drive, just not access any data beyond that. Honestly, since I disabled power management and wrapped the TB cable ends in tinfoil it’s not had a single issue.

Thanks. I decided to just stick with the 1MB stripe size.
An interesting experience in stability though–my drive kept disconnecting. The icon was still on the desktop, but it just cut connection.
I used the Terminal script to disable power management, but I’m sure that couldn’t have been the issue since it kept disconnecting right in the middle of transferring large sets of data between drives. I read that some people with the Pegasus units have found that they need to wrap the ends of the TB cable provided with tinfoil to block RF interference. I did that and no problems since.

Hrmm, so I left my media drive cloning over to the R6 overnight only to find that only half the data finished and then it had an error. I’ve been trying to render out a 2.5 hour key light Ae sequence, and it gets about an hour or so in then the R6 looses communication with the OS. The drive icon is still mounted and it shows folders, but I can’t open the utility or move any data.
I did some research and found that the R6 by default uses power savings features that can only be disabled via Terminal, so I just did that. I also found that lots of people have had issues with Pegasus drives loosing connection due to RF interference to the Thunderbolt cable connectors, so I wrapped those in tinfoil … we’ll see what happens.
I’m surprised that a professionally-oriented raid array would even park the heads, lower rotational speeds, and spin down the drives. I guess they do that to counter the cheap non-enterprise drives.
I’m considering forcing readahead, is that advised or will that along with disabling the power savings features be stressing out the Toshiba drives too much?
BTW, Jonathan, I finally put in my order for your bare 8-drive unit and I’m sure that that with the Areca card and enterprise drives is going to be a much more reliable unit for the older Mac Pro.

Cool, thanks for the insight, Richard.

Thanks for the reply, Richard.
Isn’t the BMCC the larger sensor (1.6 or 2.0) while the BMPCC pocket is 2.3ish?
Those closeups are really nice, I would have guessed they were shot on a prime. What format did you shoot, raw log, cine or video?

Thank you for opening this discussion, Adobe. I have shared my personal opinion on the matter.

Hey Bruce,
How did the rollback go? Have you had any issues capturing from the US4K at “standard HD” resolutions or any other sync issues? Have you tried playback with Premiere?
Thanks

Are there any singular mini converters out there which convert frame rates with HDMI in, preferably one that can run with a standard battery mount?
-
Yep, I’m working with them on this and the external playback lag.

How dramatic of a workflow change is there to running Pr/Ae with the Mercury OpenCL/Cuda being driven by a GTX 680 vs. a Radeon 5770?
