1. Re: Hard disk cache (aka disk cache or cache buffer)
JFPhoton Oct 4, 2014 9:55 PM (in response to TimvandenOever)...use SATA III high quality SSDs like the Samsung 850 Pro,or , the cheaper Crucial M550s. You only need 2 of them to get started. Use the big old HDDs as BACKUPS......use the SSDs as your WORKING drives...the HDDs can store original media that you transfer to PROJECT SSD for when you edit. HDDs are slowly going to become EXTINCT...like the dinosaurs. They just are TOO SLOW....unless you have MANY of them in an expensive RAID array that also needs a UPS power backup..

2. Re: Hard disk cache (aka disk cache or cache buffer)
TimvandenOever Oct 7, 2014 6:28 AM (in response to JFPhoton)Sure you won't see the hdd's for that much longer, but for the time being they're still closer to 6 cents per GB as opposed to 60c. I have of course thought of how nice it would be to have a system full of ssd's, but sadly I have more use for at least a certain amount of hdd space within my budgets, and it's the easiest component to upgrade my system with in the future.
