Considering that they seem to outfit the 12TB version with 12 1tb nvme drives, it looks like the enclosure is in the $3k range. For what appears to be custom hardware so they can drive the throughput required, that is not entirely unreasonable.
Back in college I remember learning about the largest data center in the world. It was a nine story building used exclusively to house all the drives needed to hold one terabyte of data. How things have changed 😮. This was the 1980's when a 500 megabyte drive was the size of a large washing machine.
fwiw, i'll take you back just a wee bit further, to when a 5 MEGABYTE drive (from corvus, 1979-ish?) was the size of a large kitchen microwave, and it cost about $ 3000 US. at the time, i believe the apple 5.25" floppies were running about 120-140 KILOBYTES, depending on the dos version), and the drives themselves were maybe $500 each...

Nothing better than getting the right tools that really promote and support one’s workflow - some people balk at having to purchase newer tech because of expense or the learning curve of new IO and the overall quirks of a new setup but the benefits you have mentioned concerning your process is priceless for peace of mind and freeing up an editors workflow. Thanks for sharing
I love how being smart with tech can enable us to be more creative. Shooting cool stuff in Slow-Mo probably seems like a simple idea, but no one was doing it 5 years ago because the technical aspect of it is just such a challenge.
I’m a DIT, I’ve used 4 Iodyne ProData before in the field at a music festival, they’re great but I’ve encountered a few snags: firmware errors at least twice, a broken fan and the Iodyne client downright refused to install on an M2 Mac; hope Iodyne fixed it. Also, be mindful of their temperature, they tend to heat quite a bit and that can affect performance and lifespan of the SSDs; our rental house gave us laptop cooling pads to put them on top of to keep temps at bay.
Can confirm it works on M2 so assume that issue is gone. In my experience all of the stuff I own when transferring at max speed gets hot and it’s definitely something to be mindful of. That 10Gbe thunderbolt adapter I showed could legitimately fry an egg after about 5 minutes.
Not sure how possible this would be, but it would be very cool to have a longer raw gopro video uploaded to this channel just showing the full setup process of a shoot and seeing the background of going through the shoot.
These videos are great! I am a Phantom Technician/Operator in London, it is mind-blowing to people who don't know how big these files are. Clients want all the footage on the same day, I have a system of using 3x 5TB Cine Mag IV and switching over the cards when they get to 1/2TB of footage so I can start downloading while still filming on set. Having clients breathing down your neck on set waiting for you to give them a drive is not fun! Great to see alternative storage options, however, I don't have the money to spend on my kit to upgrade.
As someone who's getting more and more into the technical side of filmmaking and data wrangling, I was baffled thinking about how much of a nightmare working with slow-mo files must be. When I discovered your industry background was as a DIT, it all made sense. I've been a watcher since like day 1, so learning all the technical stuff is a treat (now that I am older and can appreciate it)
Been editing on an 8tb NVMe SSD RAID in RAID 0 config for about 5 years (OWC Thunderblade) to say it is better is an understatement. As a pro editor it has revolutionized my workflow. This type of drive is 100% worth the money for the professional workflow.
Working on multiple projects is a great productivity hack. I'm always writing at least half-a-dozen posts at the same time. When I have an idea for a new post, I'll title a new page, make headings as a block structure, start adding content until I get stuck (or bored), then switch to a different post-in-progress.
I have 3 of the OWC 4M2 enclosures and I love them with my M1 Studio Ultra. I use them as 16 TB drives using Raid level 0 and Disc Utility (not Softraid due to simplicity and superb results with Disc Utiility Raid). I use 4 of the Samsung 990 PRO 4 TB SSDs and I love them. I get 2840 write and 2340 read speeds. The Samsungs are down to $249 and the enclosure is only $249 so I get screaming fast 16 TB data rates for only $1250! I absolutely love these combinations and highly recommend them. At most the enclosures get minimally warm to the touch and I have zero fan noise.
This was a really cool insight into how you shoot and edit videos. i was not aware you shot multiple at a single time and released them as they were edited. Also mass storage stuff is so fascinating to me. I really want to set up a storage server for my family to dump and access family media.
I had slightly fallen out of watching slow mo guys vids with life getting super busy. Only just got started your content again and was rewatching slow mo 2 videos and said oh they aint uploaded in 7 months, hope its all good and bang, new video
It would be incredibly interesting to see what your field setup is like. How you manage data at your shoots, the time that goes into prepping at the site, etc. Unless its an industry secret or you don't want competing interests to know, seems like it would be a cool bit to share!
Quite sure I bought 2x WD Black 7200rpm 2TB HDD in 2011. It wasn't that expensive, about $260 a piece. That was when RAID became easy accessible to consumers.
I can see how this would completely overhaul one's workflow when they're dealing with (let's say) a very fast turnaround time between data acquisition and data manipulation. Also, smart of them to fight to make it as close to laptop standard sizes as possible. Smart bit of kit.
I’m not sure if you’ve put one out before, but I would’ve love to see a BTS of you editing one of your projects, even if it’s not to completion because I’m sure that would take ages, but just to see your general workflow would be incredibly helpful I’m sure
If time and money wasn’t an issue. It would be crazy and mind blowing to be taught how to shoot and edit by you. Hopefully you get the chance and time to teach others one day. I’m not an editor but always wanted to be. Seeing these videos it’s like I have two difference lenses on. One enjoying the insane content and the other seeing the professional and smooth edit. It always amazes me. Not sucking up or anything. It’s just cool to see someone do something really well to the point it makes you want to get involved.
I don't understand using raid0 for dumping footage... As the only copy of that data (since the Phantom mag will be quickly reused) I would have thought he'd want protection for it too. The ideal option would be raid10
I made the same observation. I'm guessing Gavin thinks it's more important to save a few seconds when dumping footage, but if you lose your footage you've lost more than time.
I feel you Gav. I do also feel the writer's block/burnout when working on more than 1 project, and it does help that you just procrastinate by working on the other projects instead. That way your procrastination actually ends up being productive.
@@TheSlowMoGuys2 I'm scared it will involve a demoted Drobo in an hourly backup vortex because it simply won't die but occupies a stupid segment on the chart of Capacity vs Ease-of-use vs Upgradability vs Noise-and-heat. I can keep putting larger HDDs in there up to 64TB of RAIDish storage. The mind boggles to think what would have been if the company had been developing new products for the last 5 years … Thunderbolt 4, SSD, hybrid … all idiot proof and silent.
I can barely stand doing anything off a spinning drive nowadays, props to you for not switching your intense editing setup to solid state until just now lmao. If you haven’t already seen it, you should check out cathode ray dude’s video on the SSD based NAS he built to record and edit off of
Funny to now see one of the reasons to a noticeable increase in the quantity and quality of videos! Would be interesting to hear any hellish stories you have on losing or giving up on projects due the sheer size of data
Just setup a raid with 3 2TB NVMEs directly on my motherboard with an Intel 14900k and getting 10GB/sec throughput, which is twice the speed he shows at 5:00. Do I need that type of speed? Nah, but it was pretty much free apart from the cost of the drives, so Im pretty happy.
Really love these tech videos. As someone who is completely computer illiterate and just trying to learn, Gav really sinplifies everything and makes it seem like basic algebra
That's a massive upgrade from the original bunch of 2TB HDDs in a RAID pool. I can only imagine the bottleneck of transferring around Slow Mo 4K (or greater) RAW footage. The tech behind the Iodyne Pro Data is intriguing and the mobile nature I imagine would be far more useful than a dedicated NAS. I was expecting it to be loaded with enterprise grade U.2 NVMe SSDs, but there appears to be M.2 NVMe slots (NVMe drives are more affordable than enterprise grade NVMe SSDs). The combination of RAID 0 and RAID 6 should give a solid balance between transfer speeds and data integrity. Using eight thunderbolt 3 ports (with a cap of 64GB/s) gives decent performance but I would be keen to see a 100GbE NIC in there to really handle fast transfers. I'll have to check back more often, awesome slow motion content and solid hardware to dream of. Thanks!
Find this side of things pretty interesting, and can definitely relate to swapping between projects! Curious to hear your thoughts on how the Ember stacks up against the Phantom…
Throroughly enjoyed this and love getting some of tech behind your workflow. Would love to see a video going from shooting right through to uploading your final projects.
Watched for the gear but stayed smiling all the way thru because of the philosophy ✅ luverly & heart warming to know I’m not alone in creative procrastination 💪😅👍
You’re speaking my language. (And that’s before you tackled procrastination!) I’m in the market for some large video storage tech - my online/nearline library is breaking through 30 TB and I need SOMETHING. Hmmm yes, I will check those links.
I imagine it makes sense mainly because the camera technology will improve over time. So if he didn't rent cameras then he'd constantly need to be buying and selling based on advancements in the tech. And I don't know how easy selling second hand Phantoms is.
@@_Wombat renting makes more sense if you only need camera for couple days like he does. these cameras are expensive so having one just sitting on shelf for 99% of time makes no sense.
Love watching this type of video! Thanks a lot for sharing! Definity overkill for 99,99% of user on this planet :) But all depends on workflow and amount of data you are transferring. In case someone is looking for cheaper alternative there is "Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 Dual NVMe M.2 SSD Enclosure" that can hold up to 2 NVMe's drives total capacity 16TB - I have this device and it's insane!
Super cool. Love these behind the scenes! Curious if speeds are faster if the two cables are plugged into each side of the MacBook Pro. In other words, one cable on the left, one on the right. Because the two ports on one side share the same Thunderbolt controller.
I'm blown away that anything can have even the internal speed AND capacity to transfer 100GB per second. Also the logistics of having to manage that file size in the edit.
Any reason you havent moved to a proxy workflow? Transcoding to something like ProRes LT (in a lower resolution) editing from that, and then just linking to the original footage once you're ready for final export? Or is the .cine RAW file more convenient?
I love these technical videos you put out, Gav.

You might want to connect drive to different sides of the Mac because each pair of ports on each side is on the same controller and share bandwidth.
I'd guess you specifically CAN'T do that.
True, but only on the Intel Macs, Apple Silicon ones use a single controller per port.
No this is false, each port has a CD3217 controller each, easily verifiable with schematics or by looking at the motherboard

@@_Wombat renting makes more sense if you only need camera for couple days like he does. these cameras are expensive so having one just sitting on shelf for 99% of time makes no sense.
@@jdoe true also
I own two, but we often need other cameras from the range and it isn’t practical to own all of them considering their absolutely staggering price.
Not if he only uses it for a few days at a time and then many months in between when Dan flys out.
Love watching this type of video! Thanks a lot for sharing! Definity overkill for 99,99% of user on this planet :) But all depends on workflow and amount of data you are transferring. In case someone is looking for cheaper alternative there is "Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 Dual NVMe M.2 SSD Enclosure" that can hold up to 2 NVMe's drives total capacity 16TB - I have this device and it's insane!
This is the same guy that suffocates his brain with cat breath
Is that insane or what? 48 *Terabytes* that tucks under your laptop! 🤯
You guys should film some stuff for the Las Vegas Sphere, would be incredible seeing slow-motion at that scale!
Please keep these informative coming! 🙏
Loving the videos guys 😊
Super cool. Love these behind the scenes!
Curious if speeds are faster if the two cables are plugged into each side of the MacBook Pro. In other words, one cable on the left, one on the right. Because the two ports on one side share the same Thunderbolt controller.
That room is probably really warm! lol
I'm blown away that anything can have even the internal speed AND capacity to transfer 100GB per second. Also the logistics of having to manage that file size in the edit.
I just kinda realized how cumbersome traveling must be
Dan "flys in"? What? I thought you lived together in the same house! The illusion is shattered.
Gav lives in Texas and Dan lives in England.
One time he tunnelled in. That took a really long time though so hopefully there is no need to repeat it.
@@korakys I mean the tunnel is dug now so it should be much faster next time 😅
Any reason you havent moved to a proxy workflow? Transcoding to something like ProRes LT (in a lower resolution) editing from that, and then just linking to the original footage once you're ready for final export? Or is the .cine RAW file more convenient?
This video just screams proxy workflow being needed.
"About the size of my MacBook Pro"
Dude, that thing is obviously much larger and like three times as thick.
I’m going to show this to my uncle who got his degree in computer science in the early 1960’s.
Properly fascinating stuff.
