I use pots or mason jars , myself , but tupperware and baggies should work <| sep |> Yes of course I ' ve used one . Why would I talk about it without having used one ? I ' m not talking bullshit at all . It ' s fantastic that people you ' ve helped think they ' re getting such a big difference from it . but I contest that it ' s not as big as they think compared to a good HDD RAID , nor is it remotely close to the capacity which is the really important factor . Let ' s talk about a real scenario here . I just shot a promotional video for my employer on three Alexa Mini , shooting UHD in Prores 4444 XQ , which at 23 . 98 comes out to 133 MBs per stream . Using a multicam sequence clip , that ' s 399 MBs . And then you ' re not even talking about the other elements in your sequence , so surely you need super fast storage right ? Sure . But at 399 MBs , you ' re talking about 1 TB of storage only holding ~ 40 minutes of video . That ' s simply not going to cut it . The promo is about 20 minutes long , and we shot over 8 hours of footage between the three separate cameras . That ' s almost 4 TB just for the raw video . It ' ll be well over 4 TB as you know , once you ' ve factored in all of the other graphics , production audio and exports , you ' re looking at well over 4 TB and closer to 5 TB . And that ' s just one project . I dunno about you , but I ' m generally working on at least three different projects at the same time , or more . Once you ' ve considered that , is it safe to say I ' ll need 15 TB of storage at a given time ? Absolutely . So what SSDs am I going to store all of this on ? There isn ' t any . That ' s why I use an 8 drive RAID , which achieves over 1000 MBs read and write , and gives me massive storage capacity that I ' ll need . That ' s the problem . Once you start talking about massive data rates , you ' re also talking about massive files . SSDs offer great performance , but not capacities . An HDD RAID doesn ' t offer quite as great of performance , but definitely good enough , and it offers the capacity you will need . Naturally I ' ve got an SSD for my boot drive , and I put my cache there too . And I ' ll often use that for exports as well . but raw video ? No way . They ' re just not large enough yet . for affordable prices at least .
