This time I'm building my wife an editing system for 4k\5k video h.264\h.265 with adobe premiere. Footage will be from mirrorless and gopro9s.
The current hardware plan is:
- Intel E5 v3\v4 SuperMicro Motherboard w\onboard SAS3 (and single x16)
- E5-2670 V3 (just because it's installed, likely swap to E5-2667 v3 I have here already)
- 16GB x4 (I could go to 32x4 but unsure if that's needed)
- 2070 Super (for now 1070 TI)
- 4x 2TB Intel NVME (work drive)
- 6-8 ?TB HDD (other footage, b-roll, resources, etc \ archive will be on NAS)
- 400GB Intel SSD for OS\Boot
The videos will be 20-35m in length final cut but the footage to create this will be a weeks worth so anywhere from 10hr-30hr raw.
Any suggested changes, 128 vs 64GB RAM, etc? Should I use a 2 CPU system instead?
Would storage spaces be sufficient for this or should I use hardware raid for the HDD and storage spaces for the NVME only?
Would I get any performance boost using an optane for a scratch disk in premiere?
Can I run windows10 for this or does it HAVE to be server?
