I am planning a Video Editing Workstation and have encountered a question
Proposed System.
Processor: Intel Core i7 10700K
RAM: 4x 16Gbyte DDR4 DIMMs
Motherboard: MSI Z490 Tomahawk
System Drive: Nvme M.2 1T SSD - Using online backup
Video Scratch Drive: Nvme M.2 1T SSD - Temp Drive Only, No backup
Utility Drive: SATA 1T SSD - Using online backup
Video Archive: 2ea WD Blue 6T HDD in RAID 1 array. No online backup
The archive will be used to store 4K footage in Blackmagic Design RAW format. 500Gbytes/hour of footage. Online backup is too slow to be useful. It would be cheaper to just purchase a new array when this one is full and to keep it offline on site. My plan is to rely on the fault tolerance feature of RAID 1 to restore a degraded array.
Video editing happens only a few times per year. 98% of the time there is no need to spin up these drives. I would like them to Power Up In Standby, PUIS. They should be recognized by the system and accept read or write commands with an execution delay of ~15 seconds. After 10 minutes of inactivity they should return to standby. They should not spin up when the system wakes up from sleep or hibernate.
Is this doable using MSI bios firmware? I have read the manual for the Z490 Tomahawk and no details are provided for PUIS. Is this doable by Windows alone? Does this require some combination of Windows and BIOS?
