quick questine for any mac pro trashcan users..
since our internal hard drive is so fucking small (for guys working with video) what external hard drive setup do you guys work with? Ive been using 'WD my passport Ultras' and they only seem to last 6 months or so, the drives (same kind) I use for storage I have no issues with, it seems these things cant handle constant use, I just had another drive today start beeping on me, which basically means its dying, in this case, im losing the drive I set my AE and Premiere cache on, this is the 3rd drive thats crapping out on me in the last 2 months. is there an external drive made to handle constant use and not just for data backup?
- that shit shouldn't die after 6 months or 2 lol. something else isn't oksted
- i figured 8-10 hour days constantly reading 4k footage might just be too much for these thingsmoldero
- or maybe it's just too damn hot where i livemoldero
- Moldy; time to pack for Iceland, man ;)OBBTKN
- yeah all my gear is cookinmoldero
- moldy the reason why I told you that is because my best bubby cuts 4k broadcast vids on these things as a daytime job and they last for 2-3 years...sted
- well shit! yeah something is definitely wrong, is he using Thunderbolt or USB3 drives? and do you think that would make a difference?moldero
- Im using USB3's, I wouldn't think the size of the pipe would make a difference but, maybe? I'll have to get back on google and check that outmoldero
