The user does video editing with Adobe Premiere on an iMac with Thunderbolt.<br />
They are looking for a well-priced 16TB RAID 5<br />
<br />
Would the following configuration be good?<br />

<ul>
<li>Drobo 5Dt: 5-Drive Direct Attached Storage (DAS) Array with mSATA SSD acceleration - USB 3 and Thunderbolt 2 ports (Empty) DRDR5A21-T &nbsp;(3.5 stars on Amazon)</li>
<li>Seagate 4TB IronWolf NAS SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST4000VN008) &nbsp;(5 of these)</li>
</ul>
<br />
The cost looks to be about $1100.00<br />
<br />
Is there another manufacturer that we should look at?<br />
Any problems with Drobo?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.
