#Fancycache test 1080p
Like 1080p footage and high quality audio samples such as what i need it for. Then i thought the the sandforce based drives have good garbage collection but their weakness is incompressable data. And putting the amount of footage i do regularly would degrade performace pretty fast if garbage collection is not doing its job well, right? I was looking at getting 2x 256/240GB (or more if it will do the trick or bigger ones?) SSD's in Raid 0 and using them as the storage for footage but as soon as i Raid them they loose the ability to Trim. I am looking for a solution to cure my scubbing issues as it is a nightmare when i have to wait 3 or 4 second for the footage to stop and start rewinding, scrubbing, anything that requires access the footage. After a fair usage it does cache it all which is great but it still doesn't scrub fluidly so it might be RAM limited with my x58 platform? Ram might be maxing out the 21GB assigned just to Premiere Pro.
CPU usage is still in check as it is below 60% (12 theards) all of the time unless im exporting the finished project (not a concern in this thread). Scrubbing is better than it was when i only had 2圆00GB VR but is still not close to fluid, real time scrubbing. This is with ZERO effects added to the footage so it is the orignal files. Issues araise when i am scrubbing the timeline. Footage is shot at 1920x1080p25 and imported directly into CS 5.5 (and soon to be CS6). I get 10 days to complete the project and then that footage is archieved and i get a new set of footage between 200GB and 280GB. Footage size can range from a few MB up to 4 or 5 GB. I currently work on projects that have between 200 and 280GB of footage. AHCI is set to work in the BIOS and the raid array is using the in built x58 controller.
Pagefile is reduced to 8GB and the hibernation file has been deleted to save space. M4 only has Win7m MSE, CS5.5 and CS6 Production Premium installed.
#Fancycache test upgrade
I am looking at getting an upgrade tomy current setup as i am not happy with its performance.
