Author Topic: 4TB drives in Barco ICMP / ICMP-X? Antti Nayha Master Film Handler Posts: 268 From: Helsinki, Finland Registered: Oct 2008 posted 11-30-2019 09:50 AM                     Just noticed that the product page for the ICMP-X mentions support for 3 x 4 TB drives now, for an effective storage of 8 TB: https://www.barco.com/en/product/barco%20alchemy%20icmp-x#specs On the old ICMP's page, only 1 and 2 TB drives are listed: https://www.barco.com/en/product/barco-alchemy-icmp#specs Any idea what's going on there? Barco's spare part catalogue doesn't seem to list 4 TB drives yet...  |  IP: Logged Antti Nayha Master Film Handler Posts: 268 From: Helsinki, Finland Registered: Oct 2008 posted 11-30-2019 12:11 PM                     OK, never mind... I was just pointed (off-forum) to a current version of the ICMP/ICMP-X HDD installation manual, and it's all there. In short: there's a specific 4 TB SSD (not a HDD) that is approved by Barco, but you'll need the new storage controller to be able to use them. And while the ICMP-X ships with the new controller, the old ICMP doesn't – it can be upgraded with one, though.

Do note that we don't have a specific preference HDD-vs-SSD. Tthe 4TB is SSD (and not HDD) because that is the only way to fit that amount of storage in a 2.5" format.  |  IP: Logged Antti Nayha Master Film Handler Posts: 268 From: Helsinki, Finland Registered: Oct 2008 posted 12-01-2019 04:36 AM                     Yeah, that's what I figured! Also: I just read the Barco Series 4 thread where this was covered already in June... Looks like I haven't been paying attention here during the summer  |  IP: Logged
