Isn’t it Option P?

I understand what you mean so thanks Nicole.
You have also taught me that G-Speed is apparently quieter than Cal-Digit drives. Good stuff to know.
You’ve been very kind and I believe that G-Speed will be the option I’ll settle for.
If only I could get their sales people to answer the supplementary questions I asked earlier today.
They must be very busy selling stuff.
Have a nice weekend.

Nicole, that helps a lot thank you.
I will have my new RAID sitting about 3′ away from me but in a cupboard with a glass door.I know It’s difficult to answer ‘how noisy is noisy?’ – it’s like asking how long is a piece of string?
However, would you mind telling me how old your units are as I understand the fans were quietened down a few months ago. So would you say that your drives are more or less noisy than your (I assume Mac) computer? Mine’s a Mac Pro.
Many thanks, GodfreyGodfrey Pye

Thanks Russell, that’s interesting and a good price.
I’ll check it out to see if anyone has anything to say about its quietness.
I see there’s something else I hadn’t heard of – Micronet Raid Bank.
Seems to offer 8tb for $3k-ish.Godfrey Pye

Aaron, thank you too for responding so quickly.
I looked at the G-Speed FC and it is considerably more expensive than the ES Pro.
And a friend just called saying how happy he is with his ES.
So far, it seems to be winning.
You’re right about the Apple X-RAID being so noisy – but shhh!
I’m going to have to sell it soon.Godfrey Pye

Shane, I am certainly appreciative of your suggestions but the CalDigit RAID website says that “2TB systems start at just $3999”.
And the EVO HD2 is similarly priced.
So in terms of bang for buck, the G-Speed ES Pro wins hands down.
Thanks again though.Godfrey Pye

Well don’t go away mad Richard. Oh, too late!
You may be right, you may be wrong, but in my ignorance I now have a great looking 1440 x 1080 scroll via Photoshop and AE, thanks to the excellent tips I received.
Once again thank you, I appreciate the passion you have applied to my question.
I am officially a happy bunny.Over and out.

Well all I know is that I did exactly what Twitchmonkey said – and it came out looking great.
I thank you both for your learned input.

Thank you very much Twitch, I had no idea.
This’ll be of enormous help.

Daryl, you truly are the gift that keeps on giving.
This means I don’t have to do any recapturing, or change any timeline – just obey your good housekeeping tips when it comes to edl and backup QT’s.Thank you so much for this, and thanks again.
I will now go ahead with renewed confidence.My best.
