Hello I am going to buy the follow laptop for Premier Pro Multicamera project 4K 60fps (larg files more than 600GB). And I must use laptop because for my work I travel. 

 

laptop 17,3” Recoil i9 8 Core i9-11900K 16MB cache with DDR4 Corsair 2666MHz 64GB Ram, with RTX 3080 RAM Video 16GB 

 

I can put/use 4 SSD NVMe but only 1 of the 4 NVMe can be 7000 MB/R 5000 MB/W (ej Samsung 980 PRO), because the laptop support the other 3 ssd drive units maximum 3500MB/W 3300MB/R (ej other 3 Samsung 970 evo),

 

I am working daily with files more than 500GB which of the 2 option can be better and spped the work?

 

Option 1:

  1. A)           Samsung 980 PRO (7000MB/R 5000MB/W) of 2TB for work, export and save the video (media, projects, preview, exports, etc);
  2. B)           Samsung 970 EVO (3500MB/R 3300MB/W) of 2TB for altro (other files, storage, etc);  
  3. C)           Samsung 970 EVO (3500MB/R 3300MB/W) of 2TB for Page File, Scratch Disk e Media Cache and other; 
  4. D)           Samsung 970 EVO (3500MB/R 3300MB/W) of 500GB for OS e software;  

 

Or option 2:

  1. A)           Samsung 980 PRO of 2TB (7000MB/R 5000MB/W) for OS e software (e storage);  
  2. B)           Samsung 970 EVO of 2TB (3500MB/R 3300MB/W) in Raid 0 with the next Samsung 970 EVO;
  3. C)           Samsung 970 EVO of 2TB (3500MB/R 3300MB/W) in Raid 0 with the before Samsung 970 EVO.

In this way I can use these 2 Samsung 970 EVO (3500MB/R 3300MB/W) in RAID 0 (tot 4TB) for the save, work, editing and exporting the big files videos (media, projects, preview, exports, ecc). PD it is not a problem the reduce of the security due to the Raid 0 because I always have doble copy back up.

  1. D)           Samsung 970 EVO of 500GB (3500MB/R 3300MB/W) for Page File, Scratch Disk e Media Cache

 

What configuration is better? Also I don't know if it is quickest Raid 0 with 2 NVMe of 3500-3300MB/S or only 1 NVMe but of 7000-5000MB/S

 

I hope you can help me, and sorry for my English that it is not very good...

The biggest question is: Do you really need a RAID 0 when using NVMe disks?

 

RAID 0 was the big thing before SATA SSD´s came and when NVMe sticks came along the need for RAID 0 seemed to die since they have great performance. That´s why i am interseted in what made you wanting to raid them now.

 

Are the source files uncompressed 10-bit 4K or compressed 10-bit 4K, 8-bit 4K? How many cameras?
