I wanna say it was 1600. I’ve had it for a few years now with no problems.

I do have a ups. Power hits can ruin your whole setup in a second.

Hi bob,
Let me tell you about what just happened. I lost an entire 16TB volume. Poof, gone. Very rare, but it can happen. So Yes i do want to backup an entire 16tb raid. this way if that raid dies, I do not lose anything. I can not go thru what i just went thru again. I want to walk out every night knowing that backup software will run and take care of it. It does not need to be super fast. 120MB a second would be perfect, even 80MB. The first night that i create allot of media, the backup might take long, but each night after that, it would only backup whats new.
5-7k doesn’t seem like i’m not trying to spend money here. The Online storage was only 7k. Nearline storage for the same price does not seem crazy. I don’t want to just go buy cheap drives.
My idea was to buy at least a 16tb raid from a company with support (maxx digital, cal digit, duce, etc, and have backup software mirror it every night. The cost of the raid should be cheaper than my online storage. But still a raid 5.

It is great. I ditched that 24 inch and got a 15 inch. It just shows me the two displays I need! So much less clutter in the bay now!

great! Now I am going to go buy a smaller screen. That 1920×1200 is eating up too much room!

Happy to be the guinea pig! It truly has changed the workflow for me! Not only can I pull uncompressed media between machines, but transferring media to external drives flies, while i’m still editing on the smoke.
Not only do I thank Bob for helping me with the setup, My girlfriend does as well. I might be home for dinner from now on! And she likes that!

Installed the update. All seems well. The comp scope is the only new feature.

ok.
Here is the components that i own.
(3) 2.8 octo Mac Pros
(2) Cal digit HD Pros.I use Kona 3 cards in both machines. Allot of my work is from files. Not much digitizing that is going on. We have one machine setup for Color Correcting and another for editing. Right now I am exporting the final edit from one machine to another. This transfer time is killing me. I want to be able to instantly access the files from both machines. With the full speed of those raids. The HD Pro raids are PCIE.
I have to have two machines because the editing software I used must have a FX4600 GFX card. But I color correct with apple color and that can only use ATI gfx cards. Plus I can render on the edit machine, while I’m color correcting.
I must use uncompressed HD or 2k. This is a MUST for me. I’m doing mostly D.I. Work.
I dont want to start over with storage and by fiber channel stuff. The HD Pro’s work great. There is no efficient way to share media with HIGh bandwidth. Right now I am just using gigabit and getting 70MB a sec between the two machines.
What I don’t need is Multiple users hammering on the same files at once.
