If you have a C: and D: drive, create a project folder on D: and place all of your captured media in it, and save your project veg file to it, and do all of your work in it. The “rule-of-thumb” for a video editing workstation is to keep all of your video work off of the C: drive. Note: a RAID is not a backup so even though it can withstand one drive failing without loosing data, the RAID 5 is still backed up to several off-line hard drives. You actually loose one disc worth of storage for redundancy so 4 x 3TB = 12TB – 3TB = 9TB of usable storage. The RAID 5 consistent of 12TB WD RED drives that are specifically designed for Network Attached Storage (NAS) applications. I also keep my captures on this drive since I am now working tapeless and there are no longer tape backups. Finally my R: drive is a RAID 5 that I use for archiving all of my projects and media once they are complete. All of my active video and audio projects are kept there including all of their media. I also backup my C: drive to a folder on my D: drive. My D: drive is stock media which includes stock footage, media assets like Digital Juice backgrounds and music, as well as sample data for my VST Instruments for music composing. I’m often asked what’s the best way to configure your hard drives for video editing and how many hard drives do you need? I use four (4) drives not counting backup drives. I have my Operating System and all of my Applications on the C: drive.
