Don't know about OP, but I could use it to connect to fast storage on network and do some video finishing. Laptop has sufficient power, but no storage of that capacity.
Depends what I'm doing. For editing it's usually just fine. Color and fx work require higher bandwidth. For example, at 2k a single frame is 12 MBytes (times 24 or 25 per second, depending on the project). And we are at the dawn of an era where we are talking about 4k dci or QHD mastering for all. That wpuld be 48 MBytes per frame. So,we're looking at 300 and 1200 MBytes per second for a single workstation. Gigabit is not up to it.
If you say so. Explain how am I running 2K DPX 10-bit in realtime with color correction applied on Lustre then? Does my machine and Autodesk software perform magic?
Nothing much other than copying lots of stuff, but the tech is a decade old+ and I believe in future proofing when buying hardware that I'll use for years. I would pay an extra hundred for the port, but found zero options.
