> You could cut that in half again or better with PCIe flash storage like the Fusion ioFX. No question it’s fastest way to do for very heavy I/O. But you need money to burn – FusionIFX is going to run you $1500 to $2000 for 480GB vs. $400 (or in my
case I got two Crucial 480’s for $270 each). A RAID 0 SSD will be nearly as fast and in my experience you are rarely running a RAM preview in AE and doing something else I/O heavy at the same time, so that saturation won’t happen in AE that often. Hopefully SSD PCIe storage will come down in price as SSD’s have. Hopefully the new MacPro will prompt more of it – although Thunderbolt has been slow to come
down in price. But I think PCIe has a brighter future since it can be implemented cheaply in volume. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the
meaning, all that comes later. –Stanley Kubrick From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv]
