Well I was thinking of the M.2 500GB for current projects and then I would just offload them to my 1TB or maybe to a 3+ TB HD later if needed.

I could go with an M.2 SSD such as this as well:

I appreciate the response, and I hope my response doesn’t come off rude here…

I’m simply a hobbyist. I don’t do this for a living. I make short drone videos and vacation videos for my family. If I can upgrade some of the storage on my computer for a decent cost and make it more suited for editing then I don’t mind, but I simply don’t have $3,000-$5000 a year to upgrade to the newest technology. I just can’t do it.

I understand my processor is an i5-6600K, but I can’t upgrade to a newer i7 due to the change in socket. I would have to overhaul my entire system. The i7-6700K is a very marginal upgrade and wouldn’t be worth the cost. I’ve already talked to several folks about this.

I’m not completely sure I understand your comment about the 980TI is not too bad. It is still one of the best graphics cards on the market! The 1080TI is marginally better, and sure isn’t worth spends hundreds of dollars to upgrade to.

So if I understand you correctly, your opinion is to maybe just add a 3rd SSD (say 500GB) to keep all my media on?

So it would look like this:

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB – C Drive: Programs and Applications
New SSD (500GB) – D Drive: Current Media Projects for Premiere Pro
WD Blue 1TB HDD – E Drive: General Storage (documents, photos, archived Premiere Pro Projects)

Is this correct? If so, this seems like a reasonable upgrade I could do.

Great thanks! Very true that storage is cheap now a days…I won’t worry about it.

Thanks.

I guess what I was really looking for was how to setup things up with my current setup, which is an 250GB SSD and a 1TB HD. I’m not in a position right now to reconfigure my current system so I need to make do with what I have.

I guess for now I will continue to edit my current projects/footage through my SSD and then copy it over to my HD later.

What are your thoughts on Cineform vs. DNxHD? I guess the only downside of transcoding vs. using the proxies is that the transcoded files will be BIG and take up a lot of storage space.

ProRes would be for Mac, so I should likely use DNxHD for PC right?

Ahh okay I see what your saying. Any links to an article, video, etc on how to transcode the original media?

Thanks – did some research and I am going to use proxys – seems to be the easiest way to go about it.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. Not in a position right now to overhaul my system so I guess I will keep my media on the HD for now and the program itself on the SSD.
