Striping Avid Storage
We just purchased 2 sets (four drives each) of Avid storage (1.2TB total). The last time we bought storage we were told by Avid that they should be striped as a single volume for maximum performance. Now they are telling us that they should be striped as four individual volumes to keep the database sizes manageable. We took their advice on the new drives, but we have run into some issues that we are still sorting out. I would be very interested in knowing what your experiences have been with this (those of you that actually use Avid’s storage).

I have about 500gb of Avid drives (LVD 160’s) hooked to a Mac Meridian. I’ve striped them in two sets, and have had absolutely no problems for the last five years. I’ve also got a striped set of LVD320’s on an XPress PRo HD, and again, no problems.
Except I need more storage space…
