Best SSD media drivers for Resolve on HP Z800

PostFri Sep 14, 2012 11:32 am

Looking at replacing two fast SATA RAID 0 drives inside our Z800 crate for 2 and then potentially 4 SSD drives.
512GB drives are now affordable so 2 512GB RAID 0 SSD drives look like they will give very fast transfer speeds.
Looking at the Crucial M4 drives but wondering if others have info or thoughts on alternatives.
Thanks

Not to sway you off this website but at REDUSER.net, Jeff Kilgroe has been testing SSDs to the max with the HP820 and possibly the Z820.
He found some interesting things that might help.

I find the Reduser website horrid to visit. Grey on black and small. Yuk.
But I guess I'll have to have a dig...

LOL! Well dont let that fool you, the information on that site is pretty wide and helps everyone outside of the RED circle.
A lot of tech is discussed and prodded there.
Very helpful even if you dont have any RED products.

We went with the Crucial M4 SSD drives. 2 X 512GB. Currently bottlenecked at around 500MBps by the 3GB SATA on board but we're looking at a replacement for the USB3 card which has 2 X 6GB SATA so that may lift that datarate up.
