I’m unable to stop building epic computers that I will never be able to afford.

This one is for a video production guy, and it’ll do it all very quickly.

Raid card is to have the wd red 6tb drives in raid 10 and the 850 pro ssd’s in a separate raid 10. the wd velociraptors would be in a raid 0 from the motherboard. M.2 as boot. 2x odd on mobo.

Why Reds? I’ve heard they have a bad failure rate as compared to Greens and Blues.

Reds are designed for nas/raid use, and are usually the most reliable consumer drives they make. Wd re drives might be a better fit, but as these are just backup / non essential storage, it doesn’t matter much.
