#SOFTRAID M1 HOW TO#

We have access to all kinds of freelance industry IT people here in LA, so if we hit a real roadblock, we'll pick up the phone and get somebody over in a few hours. This one experience - anecdotal, of course - was enough to sour me on the idea of ever considering OWC SoftRAIDs. My Resolve session wasn't lost because I did a daily session backup (on a thumbdrive), and I had backed up all the files to my own drive on the second day. And OWC's fix was to wipe the system and reformat it. I can tell you that at the facility I freelanced for where the OWC SoftRAID system died, the owner was on the phone to OWC for days and didn't get it fixed for a week.

#SOFTRAID M1 HOW TO#

I don't watch YouTube videos on how to fix a toilet.Ĭlick to expand.I think you're misguided in characterizing every colorist on this forum as being someone unable or unwilling to hire an IT professional to diagnose a serious network storage or RAID storage problem. After all - they are TECHNICAL - and if they can't figure it out - then this product SUCKS ! But if that very editor or color grader can't figure out a technical issue by themselves with SoftRAID, or QNAP, or Synology (or anything else including EditShare, Facilis Terrablock, ProMax, OpenDrives, Studio Network Solutions, etc.) - that is NOT ok - they would rather DIE than hire someone qualified to help them.

That of course, is ok - they are the idiots. Of course, these very users feel the same way, if they find a client that wants to edit a video or color grade a video by themselves, rather than hiring someone that appears on this forum. Of course, the real bottom line answer here, is that many of these users would rather kill themselves, than pay someone qualified to help them. I think anyone that is a single user, that wants to go with a NAS solution is crazy, unless they have multiple computers they need to share with.

While I make my living with QNAP and Synology systems, there is nothing wrong with SoftRaid - especially for a single user. The amount of mis information on this forum (and most forums) never ceases to amaze me.
