Links to hard drives in description and to summarize: After editing with the My Book Duo configured to Raid 0- it's been a drive I can both edit 4k video quickly off of and also has a massive 16TB of storage to edit larger client projects in this phase of my career. I hope this video helps if you're in a similar situation and feel free to help other video editors by commenting your storage system solutions that have helped you. Cheers!
hello, my respect, I need some advice, I'm dealing with weddings, I'm working with multiple cameras, post production, I'm interested in the materials, I'm working in 4k resolution, I want to get a deep copy, will this device be fast if I copy one card, for example, from 256gb in real time to two hard disk at the same time, and would it be possible for me to do montage to pull that hard disk off so as not to torture it, thanks in advance
Thank for the comment, happy to help. Don’t understand your question completely but I’ll share what advice I can. This raid 0 configured my book duo hard drive would be a good fit for weddings because of the size of the projects. You can edit on the drive while importing footage. Keep the my book duo plugged in as much as possible. Don’t mess with it. It is fast enough to edit off completely. Mirror your folders of footage and graphics on a backup drive that’s cheap. Backups are important for client work. What program do you edit with? Let me know if I didn’t answer your questions you can ask again. Tried my best to help.
I run DaVinci Resolve on a windows 10 PC, and am wondering if I can achieve the same result (RAID 0) by installing 2 internal hard drives, rather than buying this external enclosure. Does this external RAID system have something special in the box that makes RAID work, or can i achieve the same I/O speed using 2 hard drives mounted inside my windows 10 PC and striped using RAID0?
You're overcomplicating it. Good idea to think of all your options but this hard drive is what you want for Raid 0. You buy extra hard drives and replace them if needed. Best of luck.
Use a Raid 0 hard drive like the my book duo for editing projects like that which are over 2tb. It’s fast enough for 4K editing without proxies. If I have a small project like a graphics heavy ig commercial reel I can edit it on my pc’s internal SSD then offload the footage to clear up space when done. But for 95% of projects I’m just editing off of my book duo
Yes this "middle ground" has many users! Totally irrelevant, but notice what looks like a St Benedict crucifix. Hope you got it blessed in the special Latin Rite. There's a different type of "war" going on.
Blessed the St Benedictine crucifix in the Catholic Church. That’s more important than any video , happy to see this comment. I agree with you. God bless!

Tnx for the video! What are the bechmarks for read and write speed with this setup on 4k timeline?
Does the drive work with a MAC. Says just PC

In raid 0 both hard drives are being used and act as 1 hard drive in order to work faster.
Since it's Raid 0, when you buy a 16tb option you can use 8tb?
RAID 0 users can utilize the entire capacity of the disk drives. Full 16tb. You're thinking of Raid 1 which halves your storage to create a backup.
Is this specific to the editing software or could I use this in FCP?
Any software. You’re good 👍🏻

You're welcome!
Should I edit using a raid 0 hard drive or an external SSD to edit off of? I edit large conference videos

Is good for editing 4k and 6k footage?
I’ve edited 4K and 6k pro res raw off it with good results
They have 1bay and 2bay drives is one better then the other.
2 bay by far. Raid 0 requires 2 drives to split the work load as I mentioned. So get 2 bay 👍🏻

Ben Affleck? Have you transitioned into video editing?
I don't see it, but hopefully I'm closer to being batman lol
