Subject: [Avid-L2] Drive evolution / speed & the laptop
I've always used my little G-raid mini to edit with my laptop, but with the new macpro's thunderbolt connection, there's not enough bus power to run the g-raid. HOWEVER, my little $50 USB junk drives... er... uh... 'transport drives' are actually FASTER than the g-raid, thanks to the faster interface.
Is there a valid reason NOT to switch to the USB3 single-spindle for 'homework' editing? We have USB3 on several machines at work; the G-raid requires pita power supply, and it's theoretically LESS reliable because there are TWO spindles to fail. Nothing I'm doing on my laptop is 'mission critical.' (Eventually I'll outfit an external SSD drive, I suppose.)
Experiences? Anecdotes?
