One way you might see a slight increase in throughput is to send final export files to a separate drive not involved in reading the files.
Your editing time will improve but export time would increase. You can always transcode to optimized or proxy media to overcome this if needed. 4K red files or multiple cam 1080 HD files. Only if you are using video that requires lots of data in native formats will you exceed the capabilities of a single hdd i.e. The benefits to RAID is when a single drive cannot deliver data fast enough to the computer(ram) for processing in real time, therefore linking 2 or more hdds in RAID 0 will double the data delivered in a 2 drive RAID 0. Even if you shoot in 4K but you transcode to optimized/proxy media you will not see speed improvements using RAID for single cam work. If you are only shooting and using a single cam and not shooting something like 4K, then you may not see any improvements using a RAID set-up. FCP10.1.2 uses the GPU for rendering/effects/exporting so having a modern card like the 680/780 would speed your system up. If have not upgraded your GPU, then start there. Your computer originally came with either the Nvidia GT120 or the ATI 4870, both of these cards are very long in the tooth for FCPX10.1.2. Are you using FCPX 10.1.2 on Mavericks? What Graphics card GPU do you have in your computer? What type of video and video format/codec do you shoot? Do you shoot multiple cameras? Do you transcode to ProRes? Do you use lots of effects? Do you use subtitles/lower thirds titles throughout you vids? Why does this matter? Also it would be helpful to know some additional information. You are asking some really technical questions. If RAID can help me how would I best configure it? Or am I limited by the limitations of my CPUs such that increasing hard drive read and write speeds will not help substantially? I'm not concerned about data protection because I have an aggressive regimen of back up to external drives.

I’m wondering if I can improve throughput speed if I create a SOFTWARE based RAID volume using two or more of my 4 internal hard drives? Basically I would like to know your suggestions for the best utilization of my computer resources for the above stated uses. My “Compressor Destination” drive is used for the destination of encoded files from Compressor. My “FCPX” drive holds the FCP Libraries and is the destination for exports of master files from FCPX. The two bottlenecks to my work are the export from FCPX and the encoding with Compressor.Ĭurrently I use only two of my internal hard drives in my work flow. From start to finish it takes me about 8 hours to take about 100 minutes of raw video footage, apply very basic editing, export from FCPX as a master file, and then encode with Compressor to two final formats (. I have been doing this for a couple of years with no major problems but I feel I am not maximizing the potential of my equipment.

I use this set up primarily for video editing with Final Cut Pro X and encoding with Compressor. I have all four internal drive bays filled with 2TB hard drives. I boot from an OWC Mercury Accelsior PCIe 240GB card which, in addition to the OS contains my applications.

I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with two 2.66GHz Quad Core processors and 32GB RAM. I want to optimize my current hardware to improve my work flow with FCPX and Compressor. From my post you will immediately recognize that I am a novice in terms of understanding basic concepts of optimizing for using FCPX and Compressor.
