Oh, and if it makes any difference… the video files are captured in H.264 and stored on memory cards inside the camera (GoPro HD). I transfer the video files directly to whichever drive will be for media storage. So, if I understand it correctly, having maximum write speeds for “capture” (no dropped frames) wouldn’t be an issue… since it’s just a transfer of an file.

I would like to be running the setup that results in faster viewing/editing/rendering/exporting…

I guess that brings-up one more thing… with the media and scratch/render files on different drives, where would I want to use for exporting the final edited videos? Whichever is faster (RAID)? The drive that is different than the scratch/render files? The drive that is different than the media?

Thanks again for all the help!

Sorry, you are correct… it is not a unibody. I have the “Late 2008” version which does have the expresscard slot (full specs).

I understand that the system drive has lots to do running the OS/Apps/etc. I would prefer to have all of the video related files (media itself, cache, project files, etc.) on the external drives, but didn’t know if there was any benefit to having the project files on a different drive than the media and scratch/render files (even if it was the system disk).

If you have one RAID0, what is more important to have on it… the media or the scratch/render files?

My current thought is to have the media (video files themselves) and the project files on the G-DRIVE… and the scratch/render files on the G-RAID (being backed-up to the G-Drive). Is this the best way to do it, or would it make more sense to have the scratch/render files on the G-DRIVE and the media/project files on the G-RAID?
