Which harddrive would you guys recommend?

2 300GB VelociRaptor in RAID 0?:eek:

Anything faster?:D
 
I prefer to go the 2 drive JBOD route for video editing/conversion. One drive for source content, the other for the output.

Depending on the content, I'd expect to bottleneck on the CPU before the hard drives, so something like dual 640 blacks would suffice.
 
Pretty much. Drives only become a limitation if you are doing raw 1080p or above, but if you're doing that, well, then you wouldn't be asking here. :p
 
15k SAS with dedicated controller or SSD with dedicated controller. What is your budget?
 
My budget is what 2 300GB VelociRaptors would cost me, so my question is:

is there anything faster for that price?
 
That speed and that space?
Then no

If just faster then you can get some SSd's
