Running short of disk space, I needed to investigate ways of increasing storage and processing capabilities for editing 4K video in DaVinci Resolve.
Came across the OWC Studio stack and the ability to run an SSD and a HDD in the one enclosure meaning less clutter on the desk. Well OK, maybe not less clutter, because I now have the Studio Stack housing a 2TB SSD and 12TB HDD and connected to it, a 6TB HDD and two 4TB HDD's.
But what it all means is much greater capacity and capability. I do notice the internal HDD (a Seagate Ironwolf Pro) makes quite a chatter when reading and writing, but it's operating at a faster pace than any of my other HDD's. That was entirely dependent on what I chose by way of HDD of course.
The Studio Stack came with the 2TB SSD preinstalled, but had to fit the HDD myself. I found it very straightforward and was up and running in no time.
Very pleased with the system.
