I chose DaVinci over Adobe Premier and just received my DaVinci Resolve w/Speed Editor! Tonight, I am literally building a new PC workstation for editing (see signature). As I research here and Puget Sytems, I question my original plan to use my NVMe m.2 1TB for my WinOS and Programs. My query is based on my not knowing how, during Resolve work, Resolve draws upon the program resources on C: drive and resources on other drive storage. For example, perhaps would it be better to have OS and Programs on a 2.5" 1TB Samsung 980 EVO 2.5" SATAIII SSD, use my fast 2T NVMe for working files, and dedicate the fast 1TB NVMe to cache? I need help so that I setup intelligently, which I will be doing very soon!
Bc I was trained as an old-school film and video editor, I think in terms of OS/Program on one drive, dailies on one drive, edited working file on another, and then a backup and archive drive. That no longer seems to be the case, so I need help to survive the whiplash into working in a new way as I see that many people edit with one internal drive and an external drive. I have several new drives so I ask for guidance on how to assign them.
Here are my drives. I have lots to choose from. I assigned a random letter to each drive for reference. Please recommend what role you would use for each: (pardon any misuse of terminology)
v.) 1TB Samsung 970 NVMe m.2
w.) 2TB Samsung 970 NVMe m.2
x.) #1_1TB Samsung 870 EVO 2.5" SATAIII SSD's (I have 2 of these)
y.) #2_1TB Samsung 870 EVO 2.5" SATAIII SSD's (likely for still photos for PS).
z.) 2TB Samsung 980 QVO 2.5" SATAIII SSD (likely for archive of exported Resolve-edited filesw/ trim).
Thanks, Paul Chaplo
