Hi,

Bob said “It ideally should be a small SSD…”

How small could it be? We have 250GB SSD in a Mac Pro and maintain so the boot drive always has 50-100GB unused space. What we do is editing and color correction. Is it enough?

Hi Tim,

Understood, so disk array with USB 3.0 or, I assume, Thunderbolt are good enough. What about speedy server (RAID, 7200 rpm) with 1 GigE connection, will it gain the speed we’re looking for?

Cheers,
Kiki

“If you can’t read 180MB/sec off of the disk, you’ll never be able to stream 1 LTO-6, let alone 2.”

Our HDD (as source) speed is more than 150 MB/s but never reach 180 MB/s. We archive from that HDD (1 tape at a time), and we’ve tried to retrieve the data back from the LTO tape, and it worked fine. We use HP StoreOpenLTFS & Terminal app. Is there any possibility that something actually isn’t right?

>>bad idea.
Oh even if I have a mirror backup for those files somewhere else?
Then what RAID 0 is good for? Can I use it for media cache storage?

Cheers,
Kiki

Hi Dave,

We deal with 2K editing—would 256GB SSD be enough for media cache storage?

Thanks.

Hi Jim,

If concern more about safety than space, should I just use RAID 1+0? Is it true that the different between RAID 5 and 1+0 is the capacity (1+0 setting creates less space)?

Cheers,
Kiki

Hi Paul, I’ve just got the same stuff. I use RAID software available, no hardware controller. I intend to use RAID 5 or RAID 1+0, but can’t be sure which is the best for the situation. Can you share your setting and the result?

Thanks.

March 6, 2015 at 2:53 am in reply to: tif to dpx (hundred thousands of files)

Hi Tero, our scanner only produces RAW. We can only process RAW with computer attached to the scanner to either DPX or TIF. The problem is the conversion to DPX (from RAW) takes 4 times longer than to TIF. But, our workflow require us to save the conversion to LTO. In the end we want DPX because the file size smaller than DPX. In summary:
1. Save time: RAW conversion to TIF.
2. Save space (in LTO): convert TIF to DPX.

Hence we’d like to have a batch image converter software to do it.

In our case, the TIF is 50% bigger than the DPX. We don’t mind if we have to provide more HDD storage, because once we convert it to DPX we then copy to LTO. So HDD is not an issue, it’s the LTO tape, hence we need to have DPX (because mostly we need 1 tape with DPX, but 2 with TIF).

So we need to know which software we could use to transfer TIF to DPX. Thanks.
