Tweakers page is really good reading and will help a lot as I put this system back together. I did have them set up with the 2x3TB in a RAID 0 and the 4 TB as a mirror of the RAID 0. It was a temp set up but worked well giving good speeds running of just the motherboard. It's a funny set of HHD's (2x3Tb and 1x4Tb) to try and arrange.
I have taken 3 clips from a GoPro 2704x1524 converted them to Ciniform in the GoPro Studio and then brought them into PP. I dropped them onto the time line and chopped them up into 6 clips ranging from 10s to 40s long. This is the "Nothing" column.
I took the same time line and dropped more of the same clips over the top of the first lot and brought the top video track's clips opacity down to 50% so 2 clips are playing at once through each outer. This is the Opacity Column.
And finally I remover the opacity top track so it was just like when I began with nothing and then I dropped and Unsharpen mask on all the clips. This would not play back in PP before I rendered the timeline.
All playback in PP is at full resolution and all playback
in Speed grade is at 1:1 (full resolution)
The PrP is Premier, the Sg is SpeedGrade and the funny looking Symbol next to the Sg in the last column is a primary colour correction, levels and hue, on all clips.
If the square is clear the clips played back fine though Speed Grade was a bit sluggish when moving the play head about and such anywhere other that Nothing and No colour correction.. The boxes with cross hatching mean that it was choppy, the denser the hatching the worse it was.
I watched the drives but it was running of the SSD for this test with and I did't see it hit 100% apart from a few spikes now and again.
This is on 2 monitors one of which is 2.5K if that makes any difference.
