    Hi T.,

    Thanks for responding to my post.

    Have you ever used Crucial or heard of Axiom RAM?

    What kind of projects do you edit?

    If a RAID isn’t used what brand stand alone hard drive would you recommend?

    Walter,

    The software I will most likely edit with will be FCP X. Does that change the forum selection?

    I thought the internal iMac system drive couldn’t be used to edit from and store media footage. Doesn’t media footage need to be kept on a separate external drive? Please explain.

    What brand stand alone and RAID external Thunderbolt hard drives do you recommend?

    Thanks!

    Walter,

    Which would be the best Cow forum to post in to inquire about a new iMac editing system?

    Thanks.

    Hi Walter,

    Thanks for partaking in this discussion.

    I’d like to get some feedback on an iMac editing system in addition to the fusion drives. Do you suggest I post in the “FCPX Techniques forum?”

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for responding to my post.

    How much RAM does your iMac have?

    What kind of projects do you edit?

    Are you using a G-Tech RAID or single hard drive for your media / scratch?

    What kind of plug-ins do you use?

    Are the plug-ins kept on the fusion drive or your external drive?

    Do you plug-ins all run at the same time?

    Hi Erik,

    I will be editing a web series which will be shot partially on green screen. Segments will range from 3-7 minutes, some may run longer 10-15 minutes. I will also be editing some docs and short films.

    Hi Christian,

    Thanks for contributing to my post.

    Would you advise against getting the SSD as the system drive in an iMac and opt for a fusion drive?
