So I am getting back into editing some of my own projects and have a few questions. Right now my old build has 2x 500GB HDDs which I think I could reuse.
I am upgrading the CPU/MOBO/RAM and eventually the GPU. I am also looking at a couple Samsung 480GB SSDs as my budget for storage components is only $500.
I am just trying to get opinions as my last project we shot on a RED DRAGON (6K) and ended up with 30min of footage which was close to about 450GBs. Ended up paying an editor to help with that one but I am just curious of which drives should be used for what.
From my understanding
1x SSD should be used for OS + Scratch disks (or should I have one dedicated to scratch disks)
1x SSD used for backup?
1x HDD Downloads
1x HDD backup?
Thoughts?
