I do video production and work with raw footage.
A shoot can easily be 1-2TB.
I plan on having raid 0 with 2 or 4 drives on my desktop. But I need something for archiving purposes. Would getting something like the synology 1515+ be the best option? I don't want to build a new machine for this.
my current build is
i7 3930k
64gb
256gb Samsung 830
128gb Crucial M4 as cache
2x 3TB WD Black (not in raid 0 yet)
1x 2tb WD Green
4x external 4TB (2x seagate and 2 toshibas)
I plan on doing this:
i7 3930k
64gb
1x 512gb Samsung 850 EVO
2x 3TB WD Blacks in Raid 0
2x 3TB whatever brand for mirroring that
2x 4TB as backups of really important stuff. They'd be kept else. I'd periodically update them.
Synology 1515+
5x 5TB WD reds for archiving compressed files
Then I'm left with 1x WD Green and 2x 4TB Drives.
