RAID 5 Video Editing | HighPoint RocketStor 6114V

- In this video I talk about various hard drive RAID setups, including my RAID 5 4-drive external bay, the usb 3.1 gen 2 HighPoint RocketStor 6114V. But the question is, is it worth it to use RAID for video editing in terms of performance? I'll show you results from other RAID and non-RAID setups to try an answer this question.
I'll also talk about various RAID setups including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and RAID 50+.

Any of you using RAID 5 for media files while video editing? If not, let me know you solution here. Thanks for watching!
You need RAID for everything.
Good video. This isn't what I am looking for at this time. But, maybe down the road as a backup solution.
Great overview. Note: USB-C is NOT a new protocol. It's just a new connector. From Wikipedia: "A device with a Type-C connector does not necessarily implement USB 3.1". So I suspect you're running USB 2 or USB 3.0 on your USB-C connector.
Did you try the 6124V yet? From what I read on their website it should be faster and more quiet.
Oh nice, no I haven’t. I’ve switched to QNAP NAS drives which have much more capacity and are about 3x as fast as a 4-bay raid
I had to return this because the fan was too noisy. Which is a shame since it was very fast!
Yes, you can lower it in the software but it still gets loud when in use. My QNAP is MUCH quieter
Thank you for this video. I bought one before seeing this and i actually have raid 10. its super slow even on usb c. guess im gonna try to rebuild it as a 5. also i guess ill change from usb c to usb 3.1 to see if it helps speeds.
Great, video and breakdown - what are the fans like on the RocketStore 6114V? Are they noisy?
They are indeed pretty noisy, and unlike the QNAP that I have since upgraded to, i don’t think you can put it in silent mode
@@FilmIn5D What QNAP did you upgrade to and is that silent?
@@NewWave. I have the TVs-1282T3, but that one is rather large and has 12 bays for hard drives/SSDs, they have cheaper ones that are 4/8 bay, but if you get them you’ll need either a 10gb Ethernet card or thunderbolt 3 compatibility. It is very quiet tho in idle.
USB C or USB 3.1?? Confusing topic. There's no way to compare it because they refer to different things. USB C is a connector, like TRS, RCA, VGA.... or USB. The shape is different and usually, the function is also different. There's one exception: the same shape of a USB connector can works in different ways: charging or transferring data. Even if we focus only on transfer we have been using this same connector for a long time: Since then we have been using USB type 1(12Mb), type 2(480Mb) and Type 3 (5Gb).... why? each type became faster due to a new protocol, with the same connector. mmmmm.... ok, USB 3 Is blue!.... but that's all.... not really! The new thing (2013) is that they decided to change the name to 3.1 gen 1 (5Gb/s) and create a new 3.1 gen 2 (10 Gb/s). I think this last protocol can use only the new connector Type C. Confusing?? Yes: There are tones of peripherals in online stores selling systems with USB 3.1Type C with only 5Gb/s (They usually omit if it's gen1 or 2)
Interesting video, thanks. I'm also looking for a 'cheap' RAID array type 5 based on USB 3.1 Gen2 for my video workflow on 4K RAW... or wait for USB 3.2 Type C (20Gb/s) in 2019. Greetings!
This is by far the best review I've seen on youtube, have been trying to find a solution for ever!! Quick question.. would you say it's a bad idea to only have 3 drives in a 4 bay enclosure?
Thanks for the comment. So you can absolutely use 3 drives instead of 4, if for some reason you only have access to 3 drives... The catch is that, and also the reason that 4 is more common than 3; with an array of 3 you can only have 1 drive fail (33%) and with 4 you also can have 1 drive failure (25%). This is also the same with capacity (4 1TB HDs = 3TB RAID 5 whereas 3 1TB HDs = 2TB RAID). TLDR: 4 is more efficient, safer, and possibly faster than 3, but also more expensive so if 3 is your only option then go for it. Hope that helps!
Yep this again was very helpful haha, thank you! Just one quicky, is it fine to mix drive sizes... i.e. 3x6tb + 1x8tb in a RAID?
no I would not mix drive sizes, but sometimes on a rebuild (replacing a broken drive) you may be better off plugging in a slightly larger drive than the original just to make sure there's enough headroom
Ok aweome, thanks for all that!
@@FilmIn5D 4 drives is not safer than 3. More drives in a RAID5 array (or any other RAID-level except RAID1) means higher chance of complete data loss, because there is a higher chance of a 2nd drive failing before finishing rebuild. Similarly, the overall risk is also higher with larger capacity drives due to increased rebuild time.
Good info thanks. What kind of drives are you using in your RocketStor 6114V RAID box?
8TB NAS drives from ironwolf
@@FilmIn5D Thanks!
great. :D
