7.6 Certified Hard Drives (JBOD applications)
The following list of drives have been tested by Pinnacle Systems Certification process and are proven to perform well
with Targa 3000 under Premiere 5.1c and 6.0 environment. With the exception of U2W drives, when 8 of the same
units are striped with a 64 bit enabled U160 SCSI interface, under optimal cabling (namely SCSI connection and
termination), cooling condition and driver configuration, end users can obtain 3 YUV streams real time playback under
Premiere environment for at least 25% of physical drive surface.

7.7 System Boot Drives
Use the fastest system drive you can install in your system, from SCSI Ultra3 to ATA UDMA 66 (UltraDMA)
EIDE drives. We recommend drives sizes of 9 GB or higher. Generally, the SCSI drive alternative will
provide faster performance due to command queuing, but 66MHz UltraDMA drives are adequate. Be sure to
apply the latest UltraDMA driver from the motherboard manufacturer, as Windows NT 4.0 does not natively
support UltraDMA.
