Re: [Avid-L2] Spec'ing a new Z840 - typical ?'s

 

I don't get it.

Raid 5 takes lots of calculations. A software raid thus takes CPU to do this.
A hardware / external raid 5 does this for you.
So, you don't want an internal raid 5 if there is no dedicated hardware inside your box to take care of that.

But, on the road, how much footage do you need to ingest?
8 TB drives are dirt cheap. Why not add two large drives  in raid 1 (Mirroring, no math needed. Just for safety.)?

Is 8 TB not enough if you are on the road?

If not:
Now, if you have a tower to travel, you don't travel light anyways.
A QNAP is light, cheap and compact.
Why not add that if you need a tremendous amount of storage?

You are correct Job.


My hesitation on the PCIe drive was that the HP Z840 configuration site only allows RAID 0 as an internal RAID option with PCIe selected as a boot drive.  I would like to have an internal RAID 5 for jobs where I take the tower on the road.  


BTW, the HP Z8xx series chassis fits perfectly in a BVW series Thermodyne shipping case.
