A high performance system for the professional photographer
This PC builds on the already tremendous performance offered by our High End Photography PC by offering increased storage and storage performance. The primary SSD is upgraded to the 500GB Samsung 970 EVO which offers excellent performance but also high endurance for extended longevity.
The systems third drive is also increased to 10TB capacity. The drive used is the BarraCuda Pro (24/7 rated, 5 years warranty, 300TB/year workload rating) – Register for 2yrs FREE Data Recovery on www.seagate.com/register. The BarraCuda Pro are built more like a server drive, using only the best grade of components in order to ensure longer lifetime and better performance. These drives also carry 2 years of Seagate’s rescue and data recovery service which means Seagate will endeavour to recover any data they can from your drive should the drive fail within the 2 year cover period. They will use the most advanced techniques available in their lab but there are no guarantees if the data is completely gone.
The processor sees an upgrade to the latest 9th generation Intel Core i7-9700K. This is an 8 core processor capable of operating up to 4.9GHz. This very high clock speed enables superb image processing speed even for very complex workloads. The 8 cores are more than enough for Photoshop and Lightroom and are ideal for users wishing to have multiple applications open at once. The i7-9700K is also ideal for those users wishing to also undertake video editing on the PC.
Building on the already huge specification of our High end system, this photography PC takes the step up to 64GB of memory for truly spectacular performance with the largest images in multiple layers and effects. Many images can be loaded at once without degradation of performance. This is a truly professional grade system able to handle fast processing of complex images.The 64GB is also very helpful for those users also undertaking video editing on the same PC as it will allow for editing of complex 4K workloads.
The system also includes a high performance memory card reader which is compatible with Memory Stick, Compact Flash and SD cards including the latest SDXC and SDHC cards. The system power supply is also increased in order to enable the GPU upgrade option further down the line.
The power supply is upgraded to the 650w Contour modular which will allow for future system upgrades and has plenty of power to spare.
We retain the AMD Radeon PRO WX4100 professional workstation graphics card which has support for 10-bit colour for high levels of detail and colour precision. Couple this with a 10-bit capable photography monitor for superb colour accuracy and image quality.
