Ever experience anything like this? I did last night and I think it's better to just do it yourself.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

So the moral of the story is . . . just shut up and let me drive!

I'll probably do a few different ones. The pyrotechnics, then Karyn then Crash's nephew riding.

I was talking about the whole video tape. About 45 minutes. I've only got an Athlon 850/foot warmer. And a single 80GB drive. I've been told it will take a while. But I have no idea. And raw DV is like 15GB/hr. I can't even watch the raw DV. Computer is too slow. LOL Yeah, I need to upgrade. I've got the RAM (1GB) but not enough processor or disk. Would like to slip in a 200GB drive or so. I have to watch the tape, get the time codes (HH:MM:SS:FF) for the edit. LOL
I'd like a nice dual Opteron [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] with double RAID 5 arrays. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

This is soooo going off topic. LOL
Athlon 850 is an 850 MHz AMD Athlon CPU. It's an old school Slot A processor known for it's generous output of heat. Current high end 32 bit Athlon is like 3200MHz.
raw DV is the video stored on the tape in a digital video camera. Usually either Digital 8 (Sony is the only one), MiniDV or Micro DV.
Time code of HH:MM:SS:FF is time in 2 digits. Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frame (30 frames/sec for NTSC video, technically 29.97).
Opteron is AMDs 64bit (with 32bit compatibility) CPU. Processor speed in MHz is lower than a 32bit CPU, but overall the processor is much faster as it's processing twice as much information at the same time. And of course, a pair of them is even faster. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
RAID is a Redundant Array of Inexpensive (or Independant) Disks. A way to lump several physical disks together to be seen as one large disk for capacity and redundancy (if a drive fails, the computer keeps working and doesn't crash.) RAID 5 is just one of the many levels. 0 = disk striping (no reduncy just a way to get a big disk with SPEED.) 1 = simple disk mirroring. Not sure exactly on RAID 2 & 3. RAID 4 puts all of the parity on one drive. RAID 5 spreads the parity out over all of the drives. RAID 0+1 and 1+0 is a combination of disk striping and mirroring.
What is this parity you ask about? Well, it's a way of adding up bits and being able to figure out what the bits were that were added together to get the parity bit. A bit is either a 1 or a 0. 0+0=0 0+1 or 1+0=1. 1+1=0. Through simple math you can figure out based on the parity bit and the surviving data what the lost data was.
Disk 1 bits
0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
Disk 2 bits
1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
Parity bits
1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1
If you lose Disk 1, you subtract Disk 2 bits from the parity bits and you end up with the Disk 1 bits. This is what a 3 disk RAID 4 array would look like.
A good RAID controller has it's own CPU and RAM with battery. The computer just sees the RAID array as one disk. A RAID controller can have multiple RAID devices set up on it. A high end RAID controller could have 5 channels that can each hold 15 drives. Though 7 devices is pretty much the sweet spot. Beyong that you saturate the bus.

Don't ask a computer guy a computer question. You might just get a REALLY detailed answer. I saw the sky light up with the collective glassing over of eyeballs when people read that.

Im with ya skinner. although we are the oppisite. your anti Intel, Im anti AMD [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] your anti Microsoft, Im I gotta be with a standard system for business reasons [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] as far as raid goes. its the onlyway. all the workstations i have been building lately are two disk striped sets. no redundancy. they seem to perform pretty well. well enough i will never build a single disk boot system agin. although i would like to do some more experimenting for my video editing systems. Im pretty sure it would be way faster if i had a seperate boot and data set of disks. it is just nutz anymore the disks are all gettin so freakin big. and CHEAP. i can remember not solong ago when a 10gb scsi disk was lik 900 bucks. WTF 400gb SATA drives is less than 360 now. oh happy day.
