Internally with SAS (or slitted to sata) is ok for now as i’m one man band for now sharing in massive amount is
not that important. I probably can get away with dual 10 gig net moving stuff around slowly.I will leave DCP mastering and such on mac still but grading and vfx i will do on my win then with bigger array.
That is good point that 9361 seems better as it actually is raid.
I do not have as much knowledge for now how different models and manufactures compare to each other
this is why i started to ask.As i still plan to get this huge box with 20 drive slots then internal is super fine for me.

Hi.
Sorry not describing my actual needs:
>let’s begin from scratch. What is the main job your new raid array should do for you?
4k EXR for Resolve and Fusion as starting point
>Second: What platform (Mac or Windows) do you want to play?
Win10 as i build new machine now on i7
>Third: How much storage do you need for your projects now and in the near future?
Lets say i start with 40 TB. I have chosen big case so i can reconfigure my array how my need changes
>Do you work mainly in HD or 4K?
Now HD and 2k but i have strong pressure for 4k
>How do you want to do your monitoring? (picture, sound, colour)
DeckLink 4K Extreme to my monitor so that is covered.
>You have to define and set up your workflow!
I have similar workflow now on mac pro 5.1 but it is already 6 year old and loosing some of it’s edge as i can not do 4k
if needed and this is a bit limiting now.
It seems now reasonable to go over i7 for now and in couple of years if the need comes to jump over xeon.Does it describe my workflow a bit in more detail?

Because i’m not familiar any of those.
Educate me please.
Also lan part is secondary concern and working locally on one machine is primary.

Thanks.
Ok i have read now and yes it seems now that i8 is soft raid in a way.
As i do not have any ideas or comparison of other manufactures or models this is why i came up with these models.
Any better ideas i would appreciate.I plan to build my own system from ground up in very large box so no external connection mandatory for now.

This is the one i’m thinking of.
As i have pretty much one or two man band we do not need many big separate arrays.
My initial plan is to “see” mac pro 5.1 and win10 machine which i’m building over dual 10 gig network but if that will work is another subject on another thread.—

I have copy pasted timelines to master timeline and left original timelines to be.
Worked out and was not complicated or anything.

Calibration is the key here on monitor and later in cinema.
If any of them is off the you get variable results.

I would do prores or dnxhd depending on os.
You will not lose quality as it has been recorded to “bad” file in the first place.
