Author Topic: Which HDD for NAS to use for cinema projector Hai Dinh Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Leicester, United Kingdom Registered: Dec 2014 posted 05-02-2018 02:53 AM                     In my cinema I have 4 Christie CP2210 (each one connect with a dolby/dss which include 3 hdd) and a Christie Solaria one (connect with a Iomega PX4-300r also include 3 hdds) So totally now I am using 15 hitachi ultrastar HDD (7200 rpm, sataIII 3gb/s). The question is it necessary to use 3 HDDS for each NAS (because as I see 2HDDs are also OK)? And Can I use another type of HDD to save money such as Seagate Barracuda? Many thanks for your helps  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 05-02-2018 06:14 AM                     You need three HDs, and there is a list of tested drives available from Dolby. A slightly outdated version is in the film-tech warehouse file repository: http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/wareview.php?id=2037&category=2 The latest list, however is from january 2018 In general, on the Dolby DSS, you should be able to use any NAS capable drive, e.g. WD RED. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
