Hardware for a single workstation

Hi GIA, it sounds like a very good system. I am a novice in this department, but have talked to a few people happy with the A-series performance (A5000 and A6000). The ability to add more GPU cards and more RAM in the future is definitely a plus. One thing to note - you can optimize performance a bit by putting the operating system on a SATA SSD, rather than on one of the limited m2 NVMe SSD slots. This will allow you to use two (or three) m2 NVMe slots for scratch or movie processing. I was advised that putting the OS on the SATA will slow down boot but shouldn’t affect system performance once up and running. That’s not really a big deal. I would put the 48TB disk space in some sort of RAID configuration (RAID5, RAID6, or RAID10) as a low-level protection in case of drive failure
