575 MB/sec, 2.7 Terabytes, under $3000 for G5. Intrigued?
I've been messing around with disk arrays for uncompressed high definition video capture and editing, and I've put together this disk array for my Mac G5 that has sustained read speeds of about 575 MB/sec (yes, that's megaBYTES/sec), has 2.7 terabytes of formatted usable capacity....and costs less than $3000. Most other vendors charge $8000 to $15000 for that kind of storage capacity and throughput, and most aren't capable of moving over half a gigabyte of data each second.
The article discusses how I did it, where to get the components, what this is useful for in HD video post production, what are the other parts of a low cost, high quality HD edit suite, and links to other related articles on the site.
