Totally forgot about robocopy. Thanks for the help guys! I'll post the files/tasks if I get it to work the way I want it to. Thanks!!!

The colour data on reds is pretty crazy. If you're hoping to upload to somewhere like YouTube, you can turn the compression WAY up on the camera. This will save a ton of space and will definitely help with rendering. But still, I agree with the people above, 1TB will not cut it in the long run, more memory would help heaps, and your gpu will cause stutter- but you can set up your software to accommodate (ie. changing render scale in preview) and just waiting for your footage to render at the end. I would call this setup a "patience tester" when it comes to editing red footage, but you should get through fine.

Hey guys, I've looked into a few different programs for the situation i have here, but none of them seem to integrate well into Windows, or are too "heavy" of a program. What I'm trying to do: I have a photography business and do videography on the side. With all the projects I have, it takes up a lot of space. I need more space and redundancy, so my hope is to have JBOD on my main computer and a raid 1 on my server, with one drive set up to offload the data to the server every night and clear itself. The reason I want this is because I just suck at remembering to back up, plenty of the things in my storage need a fast write speed but not read, and losing the data could mean losing money. Plus, the MOBO on my main PC doesn't have enough sata ports for the data req's (it's a LOT of data) My server is a hackintosh with dual boot for Win 10, so either OS would work for me. I assume windows would be more likely, but I wont be able to do another OS since I run a Plex server on it and it also serves as a gaming PC when a friend comes over. Sorry this is so complicated, just thought this forum would be the first place i should look. Thanks!!!
