Good to hear that Firewire 800 drives can handle DVCPro HD editing. I think it’s safe to say that SATA drives internally on a Mac can handle DVC Pro HD editing also, and probably do a better job. I regularly get up to 30 Megabytes/sec with the internal SATA drives and I believe DVCPro HD requires around 12 – 16 Megabytes/sec sustained data transfer rates. Does anyone have real-life throughput specs for Firewire (1394) 800 drives?
