I do a lot of video editing, would this be a good drive to have to store/back up videos?

Yeah mate it was a great solution for me, I keep in that drive a lot of things video, photos etc.

I have had a difficult time finding external hard drives that hold up. Most have moved to this very flimsy connector (other end from USB end). I've had a G-Drive fail, and replaced. More recently have moved to OWC solid state drives, which have the firewire AND usb connectors. Tried Thunderbolt, but unfortunately not enough manufacturers are adopting.. good luck!

File transfer is a bit slow. You may want to look into a Thunderbolt drive instead.

Absolutely! I use them one for my live DJ sets, and also plug it into my Samsung TV and play videos directly from. Never had a glitch... Knock on wood!

It all depends whether you need a drive that will last well with repeated use - from my experience, the SATA card which links the hard drive to the power/data transfer port that your USB lead plugs into is poor quality and too flimsy, meaning that it fails reasonably quickly if you're using it on a daily basis like myself. The unit looks great and the case is very robust, but functionality-wise, and as recommended earlier, I'd go for the Buffalo Mini Station Extreme which is proving far more reliable for regular use.

Yes. i used it for a photo editing class - switching back and forth between the apples at school and my PC at home. it was great.

Yes you can. Because of the small amount of ram it may need to reload often. Some of my video seemed to run in slow motion.

It has 16 gig on it. I have watched quite a few videos on it, with no problems.

IF ITS 1tb hdd, and you deployed all the 16 cameras, it will take you approximately 2 weeks of saved video footage, if you deploy 8 cameras , it will save like a month. But if the hdd is 500gb, 16 cameras will be like 1 week and 8 cameras is 2 weeks

I don't have any experience with either of these programs, but being that it is solid state and 1Tb you should not have any storage problems. Sorry I could not be of more help.

It depends how much music and video you have. The nice thing about RAID is that when set up properly, it is redundant and therefore does not need to be backed up on TimeMachine. So it is a good way to have a great deal of music, video, photos, etc. for which you don't have room on your Mac Air or whatever and make sure that it is well protected and never lost. It is a great reliable drive.

Correct it has a 1 TB HDD - the graphics card is good, BUT - I use this PC for Adobe Premiere video editing only - and you must have at least about 30% free space on the hard drive so Premiere will run as it should - otherwise it will start acting up. So, having 200 GB to 300 GB of video files per event, will fill this HDD up quick and you will need to move files to an external drive - the bad thing is that it does not have a USB 3.0

Yes you can, It is a good and fast spinning hard drive which can handle video/audio tasks, however, my hard drive stopped spinning after about 6 months, and data recovery cost hundreds. So if you can; buy two and keep one for "only" storage and the other for running editing software. Lacie will replace the drive if it breaks, but the data is on you.

It depends on how long you wish to save the footage. Generally the hard drive is adequate since once there is not an incident there is no need to save the footage and it can be written over. You can download footage of interest to the through the USB onto a flash drive, etc. The drive space can also be extended using the motion sensor feature in that only if there is motion the footage is recorded. I don't use this feature and the drive can store almost 30 days of footage. The only limitation is when it begins to record over old footage it erases the entire drive and begins again so old footage is lost.

Yes you can, it might take a while if you are backing up a lot of files,just be patient.

I'm not sure; I use mine for video editing in Final Cut Pro, but Final Cut has a caching scheme that makes it possible to use slower drives (while rendering in background). Happy with mine though.

It is good enough for casual recording and youtube quality. If you want better quality, you need to consider Vado HD which is more expensive.

You should have plenty of room to install all the programs you need, but you can't store unlimited movie files, for instance. If you want to carry all your media files on a single, local drive, this is probably not the best device. If you use a network storage device or have access to a cloud server, though, you won't notice the difference in disk capacity and the faster access to what you do have on the Acer does tend to offset the smaller disc size.

Yes..........but..........who cares.....it's a great drive.......& you can utilize it for a long time......with that much capacity!

none that i have found. just keep in mind that u won't get exactly 160GB,s of free space, because the drive had to be programmed ie formatted in order to be used. but u should have ample space for your videos.

You can store those videos into camera memory. It is a flash drive. (No playback feature).

The brand doesn't matter as long as it is a Class 10, (this means it will have a faster speed for videos, if you plan to take videos). Just make sure you are getting a large enough storage space for you, as well. Hope that helps.
