1. Re: Multiple Drives
John T Smith Sep 30, 2012 8:28 AM (in response to Dave Dwyer)My 3 hard drives for video editing are configured as...
.
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and ALL program installs (2)
.
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folders and files
.
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (1)
.
(1) for faster input/output if you have 4 drives
- use drive 3 for all source files
- use drive 4 for all output files
.
(2) only 60Gig used, for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & other smaller programs
.
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

I do not use RAID... AVCHD is CPU intensive, not drive intensive like uncompressed, so I have no problems editing without RAID (but, this is for "simple" home videos)
