Best Raid 5 expandable external harddrives for video editing & storage.

Hi,
I'm hoping to get opinions and recommendations from the community concerning the best Raid 5 expandable external harddrives for HD video editing and storage. Initially, I'd like to start with an 8tb and have it expandable to 16tb, that will work with both Mac and PC. There seem to be a number of options, but it's difficult to find reviews from video editors. It would be nice to stay under $ 2,000.00.
Thanks for any input.
Heather

If the brief includes "fast enough for video editing", you are looking for an editing solution.
If you want it to be fast enough to edit video and be shared by two computers, you are looking at a server type system connected through a very fast network interface (fibre, dual channel iSCSI)
If this is the case, $2k is not going to do it.
What it comes down to is this - Basic backup can be had relatively inexpensively as can direct connect RAID systems. The complexity and cost comes from the shared network storage with enough bandwidth to support multiple systems.
What do you want for your $2000?
Regards,

  • Best external harddrive for video editing.

    Hey all,
    I'm looking at getting a new external hard drive. I need speed over capacity and wondered what people thought of the g-raid systems?
    Much thanks, mungo.

    I love G-Raid. Nothing but good things to say about them. I had a bad drive... dropped it off at their office in Santa Monica at 9:30am and picked it up same day at 5:45 and I'm just a little guy.
    They did have some issues with power supplies for a short run, but quickly cleared it up. On the Customer Service side, they also got overwhelmed due to rapid growth, but quickly addressed the issue.
    Heck.. they even fixed a client's drive that I dropped off as a courtesy to the client, at no charge, and saved all data. It was 1 year out of warranty. That my friends... is Customer Service at it's finest.
    In my book they are the best. I don't think I'll ever see LaCie, Seagate, Maxtor, or Western Digital provide that kind of top-notch service.
    Sorry you had a bad experience Studio X, but these guys are the cream of the crop in my book.
    Cheers!

  • Best type of SATA drives for video editing?

    I'm getting a MacPro system to do editing of Hi-def home movies in Final Cut Express and iMovie. I will be adding additional internal drives, but I'm not buying from Apple because they seem overpriced. So the question is: is there a preferred brand out there for video editing? Maxtor, Western Digital, Seagate, etc.?
    They have good prices on MacSales.com, but some talk about being suitable for nearline applications, and I don't know what that means. I have also heard that setting up a RAID may be the way to go, but I've never done it and I'm a little intimidated by it (I don't want to get hundreds of gigs of material and then realize I should have done something differently, and have to reformat and start over).

    Look for SATA-II (3 Gbps) drives that are 7200rpm and have at least 8MB cache (preferably 16MB). Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi and other drive manufacturers all make drives that meet these specs. For what it's worth, I have long preferred Seagate drives.
    In addition to your working drives, remember to add 1 or more drives for backup capability, preferably external drives that can be kept offline except for times you are backing up or restoring.

  • Using external monitor for video editing.

    Hello all,
    I own a IMAC that I use for video editing on FC7. I was wondering via Thunderbolt to VGA (or any other way) if there was a way to use an external moniter as my canvus and the internal comands to do so. Also the opinons of doing this. Good? Bad? any good ideas?
    Thanks.   

    Eeewww! Oh, the horror of what you are trying to suggest! 
    No.  A video signal for a computer display and a video signal intended for TV are very very different things.  If you want to PROPERLY see what the video you shot looks like, a computer monitor is the LAST place to look.  You want to use an HDTV at least.  I'd even say avoid computer displays with HDMI inputs...but even those are better than VGA.  VGA is a very low quality connection.  DVI, HDMI...those are better. 
    But if your intention is to view your video at full quality...an HDTV is your better option.

  • Recommend me a External HD for Video editing + backing up.

    I just purchased a 1 TB seagate freeagent pro and the thing will not mount, disk utility does not see it and it's a bit annoying.
    1. Can you guys recommend me a good 1tb external HD with firewire 800 for under $250? I've only only seen the firewire 400 at this price.
    2. Can I use the same drive I use for video editing for Time Machine as well? Sorry for the noob question but I'm a noob.
    Thanks.

    Hello again Dave
    I forgot to address your second question re Time Machine.
    Time machine sets up a folder on your external drive called Backups.backupdb. This is where all the backups that Time Machine makes are stored. On one of my OWC Mercury drives I have a partition the same size as my internal drive set up for this folder and that partition is what Time Machine uses. The rest of that drive is used for a bootable backup of my internal drive which was made using SuperDuper. So I have two distinct partitions, one of which is exclusively for TM. I've seen posts elsewhere on these forums that state that as long as you don't disturb the Backups.backupdb folder on your external drive you can put other things on it, such as your video editing files, without making separate partitions. That's assuming that your drive has plenty of room available for both. I personally think it's safer to have separate partitions for these purposes.

  • Best 17" Macbook Pro Configuration for Video Editing?

    I'm just about to buy a new 17" Macbook Pro.
    Should I select 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200rpm or the 500GB...? I have no clue what the difference is.
    I will occasionally be mobile, traveling, eight days in November, weekends now and then, but not every week. Video editing with FCE4.
    Any recommendations, CONFIDENT recommendations? I can only afford the 4GB. Other than that, I'm game.

    Should I select 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200rpm or the 500GB...?
    Hi,
    If you are purchasing the mid-2009 MacBook Pro I would stay with the stock 500GB. The 7200 RPM model seems to have issues according to user reports.

    As far as external storage, I use the FirmTek SeriTek/2EN2.
    http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/firmtek/2en2/
    It is available as a bundle here: http://firmtek.stores.yahoo.net/sata2ensm2e.html
    The reason I like the SeriTek/2EN2 is that it has hot swap bays and uses a pure native SATA interface. This provides the fastest performance available and the best compatibility with eSATA ExpressCards.
    If you are looking for even faster ExpressCard performance with the SeriTek/2EN2 check out the Sonnet Tempo Pro: http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/sonnet/pro-expresscard/

  • Larger Harddrive for video editing on a MacBook Pro

    I would like to upgrade my harddrive and I am not sure if I should purchase a larger internal harddrive or purchase an external harrdrive. Most of the work will be away from base hence the purchase of the laptop. Power and portability is sometimes a problem which is why I am more inclined to purchase a larger internal harddrive 320/500 GB harddrive?
    I work in television news and just having the laptop without external equipment appeals to me or would it be better to go external? The Camera I have bought is the SONY HVR A1 (hi-def 1080i) camera.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi Michel
    I have found that power points are not always available for various reasons, sometimes many journalists using laptops, I was thinking that a harddrive internal would be better-does external harddrives get power from the firewire ports? If so then I would go this route. Packages not more than 120 seconds in duration and 10-20 minutes of source material to work on-I am in news.
    Thanks for the response!!

  • Macbook Pro: Best external HD for video footage storage?

    I've heard of problems with WD Mybook with the Macbook Pro. Lacie doesn't seem to be recognized by it either. Is there one that folks are having no problems with? 7200 rpms, 500 gig,etc.
    Thanks. cjm

    If you don't want to go with the SATA drives go with the G-Tech G-Raid FW800's....they are awesome and xtremely reliable. Thats all I use for my workflow.

  • Software RAID0 for Video Editing+Storage: What Stripe Block Size ?

    Hi
    I'm planning to setup a raid0 with 2x 2TB HDD's to store and edit the videos from my digital camera on it. The most files will have a size of 5 to 15GB. In the past i had raid0's on RHEL with the (old) default stripe block size of 64kb. Since the new drive will only contain very big files would it be better to go with 512kb stripe block size ? 512 is also the default setting now in the gnome disk utility which i use for my partitions.
    Another question: Does the so called "raid lag" exist ? I think i've seen occasional stuttering in movies when they're played from a raid0/5 without cache enabled in the player (with cache its fine). Games also seem to occasional freeze when installed on raid (I had this problem in the past with wine games installed on raid0, they sometimes freeze when they try to load data which never occurred ever on a normal HDD).
    Many thanks in advance for your suggestions

    That is a hard question to answer.. Nothing is best for everyone... However if i am to generalize it I would put it this way.. If you want to cut everything from a short promos to hollywood pictures..
    A high end windows pc (only cause mac pro hasn't been updated in ages)
    Avid Media Composer with Nitrus DX
    Two monitors
    Broadcast monitor
    HD Deck
    pimping 5.1 speakers
    A good mixer
    You are looking at over 70,000 or 80,000, could even approach even more.. HD decks run atleast 15k.
    If price is not an issue then there you go....
    However this is not realistic for most people nor best solution by no means... I run a macbook pro with Avid (as primary) Final Cut 7, Final Cut X (for practice, didn't have to use it for a job yet), and Premiere (just in case)
    I am a final cut child who grew up on it and love it however everything I am doing in last few years is on AVID...
    Have a second monitor..
    I am very portable and rest of the gear I usually get where ever I work at.. I am looking into getting a good broadcast monitor connected with AJA thunderbolt..
    Like I said this is very open question, there is no (BEST) it all depends what you will be doing.. If you get AVID (which can do everything, however is cluncky as **** and counter intuitive) but you are only cutting wedding videos and short format stuff, it would be an overkill galore.. Just get FCP X in that case... Simple,easy, one app...
    Be more specific and you will get clearer answers..

  • What format is best for an external hard drive for video editing on a mac?

    What's the best format for an external hard drive for video editing to be use with a mac only? I need to format my new hard drive and want to be sure I choose the right format.

    I concur with Kappy. His suggestion is correct.

  • The best RAID level for video editing that has some form of redundancy?

    I've been asked to help find the best solution for importing and editing large amounts of HDV (25 Mbit/s) video. However, those whom I am helping also want a level of redundancy that will allow a single drive to fail and their data to be preserved. So what I'm trying to figure out is the best RAID level (or levels) for their need. I'm fairly certain that either 0+1 or 10 is what I'm looking for, however the I/O performance differences between 0+1 and 10 aren't quite clear to me. If someone could explain that to me I would appreciate it. Additionally, if someone knows a better level than either 0+1 or 10 for the needs I described, please don't hesitate to let me know.

    The difference between RAID 10 and RAID 0+1 is how the array is created.
    RAID 0+1 creates a RAID from multiple RAID 0 arrays that are mirrored.
    You can tolerate any number of drive failures in any one side of the mirror (that side of the mirror goes offline as soon as any one disk fails, so it doesn't matter how many other disks fail in the same array), but one drive failure on both parts of the mirror will trash your data.
    RAID 10 creates a stripe of multiple RAID 1 mirrors.
    In this setup you create RAID 1 mirror sets and stripe them together.
    In this setup you can tolerate one disk failure in each element of the stripe.
    For example if you have 6 drives you might create three mirrors of two drives each, and each mirror is then striped.
    You can lose one drive in each mirror, but if you lose two drives in any mirror set, you're out of luck.
    In both cases, though, you're not going to get the best usage out of the array since mirroring has a 50% overhead - meaning you're only going to get 50% of your total disk capacity as usable space.
    With the XServe RAID, the RAID 5 performance is very good - good enough for your 25MB/sec throughput so I'd go with RAID 5 arrays, not RAID 0 or 1 on the XServe RAID itself.
    Then, depending on your space requirements, you can either stripe or mirror them together for a RAID 50 or 51 array. In this way you gain the data redundancy of RAID 5 with better disk utilization than 10 or 0+1.
    RAID 50 will give you the best performance (and the most usable space), RAID 51 will give you the best redundancy.
    At the end of the day it's up to you to decide which format to use based on performance and usable space requirements.

  • What is the best External Hard Drive for video edition?

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a good firewire external hard drive for video edition.

  • External hard drive for video edition

    Please, anybody can recomend me an external hard disk for video edition in high definition with final cut pro x?
    I have an imac with thunderbolt, firewire 800 and usb conections.
    Is firewire 800 enough to video edition, not only for storage the images?, thank you very much.

    If you're looking for a dependable Firewire 800 External HD check out the OWC Mercury Elite Pro
    I'm not familiar enough with RAID Externals, but I know a lot of video production pros use them. In that case check out the
    OWC Performance RAID O
    OWC also has Thunderbolt Drives

  • What is the best set hard drive set up on an iMac for video editing?

    what is the best set hard drive set up on an iMac for video editing? i only have one internal 2tb hard drive.

    CIANCIO.mov wrote:
    so is it best to edit directly off your LaCie fire wire drive, or off the internal HD and store on the external?
    The second.
    Which one is faster to edit with?
    The internal will operate  faster but editing uses both the Final Cut Application (on the internal), and the external which is used to store and access the video that you have shot and on which is stored the Capture Caches, and which also stores and accesses the various other caches such as Video Render, Waveform etc.
    Does a faster hard drive decrease rendering time?
    I think it must, but I have never timed it.
    whats Faster, having another internal drive or a thunderbolt or firewire 800 external drive?
    I think that a second internal drive would be faster than an external Firewire drive. However, a Thunderbolt drive is said to be very fast, but I do not know whether it would be faster than a conventional internal drive. This question would best be asked of the Final Cut Discussion Groups because thay might have experience.
    i would love some specs, and input on different drive setups for an imac with a single 2TB Hard dirve.
    Again, the discussion groups would be the best place to answer this.
    enyone. thanks,
    Rendering long sections of video in the Final Cut software does take a long time, especially when it is imported from another source, such as a .mov, and when something simple like a transition is inserted or even moved or altered, or a filter is applied, rendering must be carried out in that area to see the effect properly. So you are on the right lines in thinking about how to speed it up.

  • Which do you think; Windows 7: 32-bit / 64-bit, (plus unused RAM issues) is best for video editing?

    Hi there!
    Just received delivery of a Lenovo G550 with the following spec:
    2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo,
    4GB (DDR3 - 1066Hz) RAM,
    500GB HDD
    NVIDIA GeForce G210M (512MB)
    Windows 7
    The entire purpose for buying this laptop, was for video editing and it is the best spec I could find for my needs and budget.
    So what's the problem?
    1) Windows 7 is installed as 32-bit, not 64 bit. Why is this? I was given no choice in this decision.
    2) Only 2.96GB of that juicey RAM is being used by Windows 7. I need as much RAM as possible for video editing.
    3) Lenovo sent NO install disc. - When I eventually get a virus or my HDD fails, I have NO WAY to clean install the very product I have just purchased! (A laptop with Windows 7 OS).
    Considerations:
    As I understand it (please comment if there are alternative views on this); The 64-bit architecture is only useful for compatible software which has been designed to run 64-bit.
    The video editing software I use is "Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 9.0"
    The suggested problems with Windows 7 run as 64-bit include:
    * Possible lack of driver compatibility support.
    * Possibility of 32-bit programs running SLOWER in 64-bit environment, than their native 32-bit environment.
    * Higher running temperatures & processor cooling issues.
    * No performance gains for all other programs running as 32-bit (email, internet browser, etc).
    The suggested advantages with Windows 7 run as 64-bit could be:
    * Full utilisation of the 4GB RAM. (Presently limited to 2.96GB)
    * Faster rendering and video editing tasks in 64-bit environment.
    Questions:
    4) How can I get an install disc for Windows 7? Shouldn't this come with the computer?
    5) Do you think the potential hassle and architecture conflicts are worth suffering, to get the reported performance gains of 64-bit architecture and the remaining unused RAM?
    Thank you for any help and advice!

    contact lenovo support line for windows 7 dvds, but make sure if they send recovery dvds instead of windows 7 dvd.
    most of people are having trouble with installing windows and drivers, so companies has found as this as solution to send recovery dvd -if asked- or using hidden partition to recovery system - like one key recover - instead of.
    but if you ask me, they need to send dvds.
    i'll contact the mods and admins about this issue, please stay connected to this post.
