Agreed - that’s what we’re doing - streaming to SSD array storage over a dedicated 10GigE network

Connect an external RAID to the scope with high speed ethernet and have a separate workstation with deconvolution/processing/analysis apps. That way there isn't a traffic jam at the scope computer when one user wants to process their stuff while another is acquiring images, AND you don't pay scope vendor markup for more computer/storage than you strictly need for acquisition.

> we are buying a new fluorescent microscope wide-field system. The system include a workstation with 64GB DDR4 RAM, 11GB of graphic card, 512 gb of memory and SSD-RAID of 2TB. There is an option to increase the SSD-RAID to 4TB for about 6000$ extra. The system will be use for both fixed materiel imaging and for live-imaging with time-laps, z-stack, tiling and multi-fluorophores experiments. I was wondering if it is worth to invest those extra money for this option or not. This will be the first time we will have time-laps experiments, so I don't know what to expect as pictures size.
