The real world performance increases are negligible at best and the reduction in reliability, thanks to a halving of the mean time between failure, makes RAID-0 far from worth it on the desktop."

"Milleron" wrote in message ... Video rendering is done by the CPU, not by the hard drive. The constraint point in video rendering is the CPU, not the hard drive. That assertion is not necessarily true. By the way, if his rendering is for personal use, I'd call that a desktop rather than a workstation, That assertion is simply WACKO! |

Anand doesn't know the definition of a stripe. Second Anand made some wild and unsubstantiated and false claim at the beginning of his article that the largest stripe size is known to be fastest. That's just plain WRONG! "Milleron" wrote in message .. .

I built a PC for my nephew who does video editing and rendering for his personal use,would you classify his System a desktop or a workstation. Raid O has helped lower his rendering times considerably. That's just the point! Based on what ?!? What TESTS did he do to show that?? If you built the machine for him then you must be comparing its performance to his former machine. Are you going to try to tell me that the ONLY difference between the two computers is the RAID 0?? IF there is an improvement in rendering, then I'll bet my next paycheck that there was very significant change in the CPU, as well. Based on raid O vs NON raid O,there was no previous computer. It takes less time to do a render on raid O than it does non raid............................... |

Posting below the "--" lines means that many proper news readers will
not include your response - the "--" signify that the text below that are should not be included in the response. Now, what I was saying is that since most rendering can't fully fit in memory, and since a single drive system must read from one track, move the r/w head, and then write, you loose performance, even fragmentation hurts your rendering being converted and written to the drive. If you have two hard drives, one with the OS and source to be rendered, and one for storing the rendering as it's being converted, you will see a large increase in performance. - Thats why they put extra memory slots on the mother board........ |
