Posted January 17, 2015 Why green drive instead of black? Yeah, the Ultimate Video Editing Workstation Guide from a while back used 4 4TB WD black drives, and a 240GB SSD. I think the intention was to use the black drives for temporary files, the SSD just for OS and program files, and a NAS(?) for "cold" storage of files not being used at the time. With a 512GB SSD and 2 6TB green drives, I guess you could use the SSD for OS, program files and temporary files, and the green drives for storage of raw and edited video files. ? I'd expect the green drives to be slower than the black drives, but I can't be sure if that would actually be the performance bottleneck for this machine. Also, why the 980 video card? I thought performance per dollar was a bit lower for the highest end GPU, so 2 970 video cards might have worked better? (But I suppose there's some pressure to stick to the parts specified in the post by Askan7 wherever possible.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
