About a month ago, DSE said he was putting the Supermicro H8DCE mobo. into action. I haven't seen any results, or did I miss it?
Can someone help me on the following?
This H8DCE mobo has 2 -16x pcie slots, 2 -4x pcie slots, and 3 std pci slots.
Isn't the decklink card a pci-x card? Do they make a HD PCI-e card that vegas supports?
I think I read in the old post, that the ASUS mobo that DSE used was having some Decklink conflicts. Is this still the case?
In a perfect world, I'd still rather use a dual scsi card with 2 external sata raid 5 (striped in windows as raid 0) setup as you can add drives sub systems, while the PCI-e raid cards use a slot for every drive set that you use. In a perfect world, I'd use two 5-8 drive raid 5 setups (getting over 360 MB/s for HD editing and only 1 SCSI ID per SCSI channel. Then you can add 3-4 sets and have 48-64 drives.
Has anyone used the PCI-e setup with a Raid Card w/ external multiplane cable and swapped it out to different drive subsystems as needed? I'd guess the cables will not withstand constant changing.....Again, looking for 260 + MB / Sec. 5 Sata drives Raid 5, are within this range with the new controllers. 8 drives just adds to the capacity on some.
Anyway, thanks for any comments.
