Hi,
I do a lot of photography/videography work and have pretty much filled an internal 1TB SATA slave drive I have on my PC. My primary drive is an SSD.
I need to look at having something probably that sits external to my PC. My first thought is one of those bay enclosures that I could put into some kind of RAID array. My budget is about £300. Is this the best solution? I have a Fatal1ty P67 Performance.
My next question was going to be what drives/enclosure I should get if that is the best option, and am I best to use USB3 or SATA3 (I have spare plugs on my MB). If that even is the best option?
Basically I need a lot of storage space, speed wise I want it to be fast enough so that I can work without too much bottlenecking, I'll normally have anywhere from 30-60GB of data to work with following a shoot which I'll need to get onto my PC as soon as possible and start working on via the likes of photoshop/lightroom/sony vegas. I don't see that I need SSD speeds. I could maybe look to upgrade my primary SSD (as it's only 120GB), and work on my 'current' stuff on there before I move it onto external storage/backup. What's the latest with SSDs now?
Sorry for the amount of questions I've just not kept up to date at all and last upgraded 2-3 years ago now.
