For example, NVIDIA controls the specifications and quality assurance on all Quadro cards, while with GeForce cards the specifications and quality assurance are managed by the third party board partners. However the GeForce and Quadro cards are not quite the same. So why does the Quadro cost multiples more than the GeForce? The main reason is because the target customers for Quadro cards, namely large content production studios, oil and resource exploration companies and engineering firms can afford these cards which allows NVIDIA to charge a premium for the couple extra features they enable. In fact, the processors come off of the same assembly line.

In short, the actual graphics processor powering both series of cards is exactly the same. Thus, we recommend back up of data on a RAID 0 using a standard spindle 7,200rpm hard drive.Ī common question we get is whether to go with a GeForce or Quadro graphics card and what the main differences are. The drawback to RAID 0 is that if a drive should fail, all data would be lost. Also known as disk striping, RAID 0 spreads the data across multiple phyical drives, allowing multiple disks to access the contents of a file, thus writes and reads will be completed quicker. RAID 0 configurations are optimized for performance. The benefit of this route is unparalled performance. Select a separate SATA 3 solid-state drive (SSD) or m.2 NVMe drive (HP Z Turbo Drive) for the operating system and appications. Drive speeds reaching 9GB/s and up to 8TB capacity.

All four drives in the Quad Pro in RAID 0 configuration dedicated as the editing/footage partition.The benefit of this route is conserving a PCIe slot - the primary and editing partitions both on one PCIe slot opening a secondary PCIe slot for a specialty or port-expansion card. A 3-drive RAID 0 configuration in the Quad Pro achieves speeds of 6GB/s, which is perfect for a 6K or 8K workflow. Three drives in RAID configuration as a editing/footage partition - dedicated for storage of the project, source media, media cache and scratch files. One drive in the Quad Pro as primary - dedicated for the operating system and applications.We recommend the Quad Pro in these two configurations: Supporting up to four m.2 NVMe flash storage drives on one PCIe slot, each reaching 1750MB/s write and 2500MB/s read speeds, the Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro is the ultimate footage drive.

The Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro yields the absolute maximum in performance - remarkable drive speeds combined with massive flash storage capacity. Hard drives also work well for storing export files as the export/rendering process is generally not write intensive. If you need additional storage for large, infrequently accessed files, we also recommend one or more 4TB, 6TB or 8TB+ hard drives.
