im in the similar situation i got 3 to 4 camera angles multicam project every week and i got 2 macpros one has 3 drive software raid and one has 2 drive hardware raid, but when i load them in i sometimes run into playback problems. Usually much less if im using prores422LT. So im wondering 2 things;

if i was to make a 3 drive hard raid would make things better?

or if i was to dedicate a separate drive for each camera angle would that be better? since on raid 0 data is scattered all over and drives gotta work harder to pull all that off the drive. (my average project is over 2 hours long)

also sometimes i run into an issue of ram, wonder if its normal and should i switch anything?

it starts good, goes often smooth but free ram keeps getting smaller and inactive ram gets bigger and once it maxes out it starts to jerk. i pause it and it dumps some ram and press play again and plays fine for like 2 min and fills up again and jerks. ((

any thought appreciated.

thanks
