Dear All,
Whats the best storage & workflow for working on huge amounts of raw files ?
I recently installed a 1 TB SSD on my mac desktop (mid 2010 model) and maxed out the RAM which made it SUPER fast. But pretty soon I have filled the new drive with images. And working on files from external drives seems to get really slow (I can only use USB2 i think).
Should I put raw files on the Mac's new SSD then remove them to external drives when I have finished rendering video with LRT?
Do I try and instal a thunderbolt to speed up working from external drives (if this is even possible)?
Do I buy a new computer?
Any tips would be incredibly appreciated.
Cheers,
Aidan
