What does ctrl-shift-alt do?

If I post there, will they come?
Anyhow, I did a test and copied/pasted everything in the sequences to an Adobe DV Standard sequence and tried an Adobe wipe. Same thing happened. BUT! I did discover that it is only in my Program window and Program monitor, when rendered out through Media Encoder it was not there. Just thought that made it seem more PPro than Matrox issue.

I looked for a Matrox forum… and I just looked again. Nada. Some of the COW forums have been disappearing and reappearing later, so I’m guessing that one may pop up again at some point… then I may re-post it there. 🙂

Agreed. Wipe out system drive – start from scratch. And get an external array for media if you want the best performance.

Correct David. With the current number of drives he has (4, which includes the system drive), but I wouldn’t suggest striping them all together and putting the OS and Programs on with the media.

Sure. I can see having 2 RAID-0 arrays on one PC. You will get faster performance, but you need to have a back-up plan in place and back up religiously. One drive goes in a RAID-0 and you lose everything on the RAID. RAID-5 will give you some piece of mind, but it does come with it’s own faults – read about Unrecoverable Read Errors in RAID-5 (URE).
Best bet would be to get an external RAID array for your media. That will keep the heat down inside your PC case and give you the speed that you will want – 600MB/s +. Many will do RAID-5/6.

According to the Apace web site the 2U (V2100-2U8T) has: 8TB Raw Capacity (7TB net capacity), 2u 19” rackmount, 8 hot-swap HDDs, Dual GigE ports, RAID 5 and software.

I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to pull off the 2 RAIDs, but definitely check with the MOBO manufacturer. I’m betting it will be RAID-1 HW and RAID-0 SW, but again that is if your Hardware will do that.

Or Sonnet has the D500P refurbished for about $370 – you could get a pair of em, add your own drives.
