    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    Thans for all your feedback. @sfx & audio : I just need the raid array for putting medias for NLE video. My OS is on SSD, as is my cache folder etc... @abailey : I do believe you are right. I guess it has something to do with the firmware, becaue the Raid 0 configuration is excellent...

    Support replied me this : "RAID 10 was built by RAID1 + RAID0 (please refer to below picture), based on RAID1 the hard drive performance is only based on one drive speed. Using 6 hard drives is not a good combination for RAID10 (recommended is 4 or 8 drives)"

    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    Hello Yes I'm going for RAID 10. It seems I'm running the latest bios on the raid card. What is most puzzling to me is that the perf in raid 0 is excellent. Some megaraid cards seem to run another type of bios like this one : Sadly, I have this one ...

    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    Hi Thank you for your response. In the card bios, I chose Raid 1/ 10, but selected all 6 drives. There does not seem to be any way to congregate arrays and such... Is the card defective ? I do not know if I can change to write back or write through, but all is set in write through. I also have...

    Hello Everyone I received 6 Hdds yesterday for building my Raid array. It is consisting of 6 Ironwolf Pro 6TB with a 9217-8i SAS card from LSI. It is only capable of raid 0, 1 and 10. Raid 0 test is a breeze : 1080MB/s writing, and a little above that reading. 32TB useable. But RAID 10 is a...

    I'm backing up every content of that RAID on cold storage. So losing it is not that big a chance. I'm always backing up my rushes and source videos at least once.

    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    I'm on the fence between RAID 10 and RAID 0. I'm unsure about Raid 5 or 6 as it appears that the write performance is not optimal and the reconstruction of a 6TB drive in Raid 5 or 6 seems to be looooooooooong and maybe not succesful ?

    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    Hi SysErrMessage :) Thank you for all your time. I thought about placing the raid card in my own PC, but putting the 8 HDDs in another "box". I'm having trouble getting that, a box to put HDDs in. Specifically regarding power... I don't really need a great redundancy scheme because all the datas...

    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    OK. What do you think of that : - I buy 8 sata Hdds and put it in a box. - I buy a raid controller with two mini SAS plug external like so : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M6TV7LE/?tag=snbforums-20 - I take Dual Mini SFF8087 to SFF8088 adapter for having an external plug - I buy two SFF8088 to...

    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    Hello I already have a pretty fast volume for OS, software and cache (raid 0 of samsung Pro SSD) I'm contemplating a Qnap solution of 4 to 8 disks in raid 10, in either usb 3.1 or 10GBe. Do you know how fast such a system would be for video editing ? Should I go the USB or GBe way ?

    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    Thunderbolt would be fine, but there is no thunderbolt pcie cards for x79 chipset based cards... So the next best thing is either USB 3.1 or 10Gb lan. What woudl be the best in your opinion ? Oh, and a real life bandwidth of 600/800MB would be great, if not to much latency. It is a bad...

    Looking for fast, big and reliable storage solution for video use

    Hi guys Thank you so much for your answers. @thiggins, alas my mobo does not support thunderbolt (it is a high en d asus p9x79WS-E) or at least it seems that pcie thunderbolt cards are not compatible with it. So the next best thing would be usb3.1 (10Gbs), which I do not know how it would...

    Hello everyone I need a new storage solution to work with video editing software : premiere pro, da vinci resolve etc... I'm looking to have between 16 to 24TB. I don't like USB3. So I could work with esata or better yet, a special pci card i could insert. It does not necessary have to be...
