Response to Desktop PC for future editing of DV

from (jcowell@scf.usc.edu)
I have done extereme amounts of reaserch in this area and wish to offer my 2 cents to the DV community (we have to stick together). Anyway, EIDE is the way to go -- hands down. Do not waste your money on expensive SCSI drives. Get a decent speed drive and buy a Promise FASTTRACK controller to establish a RAID (stripping up to four drives together). I tested and purchased the controller and awaiting 56 gigs of storage (14.4 gig 7200 rpm IBM deskstar drives) which will allow me for over 3 hours of DV footage (can you say feature) -- Plus the FASTTRACK will give me the speed needed to even do DUAL stream DV if necessary. OH, and BTW there is no other company than Canopus on the PC side for reliable solutions (I have tested Fast and DPS -- trust me)

Just looking out,
