Hi Mirco,
A 1TB Samsung 860 PRO SSD using SATA600 is around 2500SEK (~$200). Assuming you will have decent Intel architecture in the new PC (e.g. HP Z4 workstation) you can use the intel rapid storage technology driver to put multiples in RAID0. You would need to do this if you'd like to stream 100fps from a sCMOS.
In general, I agree with the other posts on having such a graphics card/amount of RAM. For the acquisition PC I would go for stability and run the heavy computation (deconv. Advanced 3D analysis, etc.) on an offline station.
Good luck!
Vänlig hälsning / Best regards
Oliver

Hi all,
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.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your comments and opinions!
