Hope you are well.  I am looking for a RAID sltuion for video editing and wanted to know if one of these are better than the other.  4K editing, GH4 at th moment (mov).

    i would guess both will perform similar with top speeds being determined by the hdd's. it comes down to what connections you prefer or need, usb 3.0 and e-sata vs usb 3.0 and thunderbolt 2. the firewire connection is slower and would limit top speeds. thunderbolt is the fastest connection but might only be helpful with ssd's.

      I ended up getting the G-RAID WITH THUNDERBOLT 2 AND USB 3.0 8TB.  This thing is HUGE.  Next question.  I have a laptop and want to be portable.  Would installing another SSD card (or 2) be a better option.  Would editing be as fast as this sata raid?  4K mov's and mp4 files at the moment.

      a single sata ssd would be faster than the raid-0 hdd's.
