just ordered two internal satas not basd 300 bucks and it will blow the doors off my glyphs which were 300 each lol…. Being an audio guy I really never had a problem with the drives until I started editing 1080p video holy smokes!! … So is it as simple as installing the two then creating a raid 0 in disk utilities?…..

Next question is when editing on this raid drive do you recommend I put the actual software on it or just the video content im editing/dslr footage?

Cheers,
frank

HI Bob,

Thanks for your prompt response! Sorry if my post was not clear. So your saying getting a esata pcie card for my mac pro that pushes out 600mbs and an esata drive (g tech raid) that has transfer speeds of 200mbs wont be an improvemt speed? I read that firewire has max capacity of 80mbs for second so going to the esata would be more than double. I have about 1000 to spend that should cover an entry level upgrade I would assume.

Once again thanks for your help.

So bottom line is I need to get away from firewire and into a sata or esata correct.

September 4, 2010 at 3:52 pm in reply to: Mac Pro: Quad Core vs 8 Core?

A 3.2 quad mac pro with 8 gigs of ram should be a significant upgrade from a powerpc 2.5 quad correct? I mainly use protools so Im thinking id rather have cpu than cores at this point as thats my bread and butter. However the 8 core would probably be better for video which at this times more of a hobby. Thanks for your input!

Hi Rich,
I actually just ordered a 3.2 quad specifically for ae/premiere and fc. You think im better off with the 2.4 8 core? I have about a day to cancel it. I heard AE was solely on CPU and not cores. Thats why i jumped into the quad with higher for the same price.

Thanks,

Hi Guys,
After looking into it the MX02s dont work with my Power PC G5Quad. I called several companies and none offer it? Any ideas I would really like to make sure Im color correcting correctly and without the proper display its pointless. If I cant find anything I might just bite the bullet but at this point Id hate to waste a perfectly powerful computer.

Thanks for your help! As I stated Im super new to this. Hard to google something when you dont know what its called. With those products you suggest will I be able to still run my dual displays along with an HD TV? I was looking at this unit

https://www.fullcompass.com/product/387534.html

Once I connect the MXO2 or motu unit will they then be avialable in finalcuts video playback section as video out?

Thanks again in advanced. Also does anyone know of a shatter effect for motion similar to boris cc pixel polly?
