  slightly offtopic…. which RAID storage for use with P2 material on FCP

  Posted by Steve Voyk on September 12, 2006 at 1:02 am

  Hi guys,
  Along with my HVX200E (PAL) I’m buying a new MacPro with FCP. I’m still stuck on the storage solution. My budget is around USD$2-2.5K for 1Tb but I want some kind of RAID backup.

  I would prefer SATA drives with SATA connection but so far all I have found is RAID 1+0 solutions as opposed to the much better RAID 3 or 5, which in the case of RAID 1+0 means a 5 drive enclosure effectively uses only 2 drives for playback (2 drives mirrored then striped with another 2 plus one hot spare).

  Is anyone using only two drives striped together to playback up to 10bit SD uncompressed. My other work is 1080/25 DVCProHD and DVCPro50.

  I’d appreciate any insight into the above and any solutions others are using with RAID storage backup.

  Regards,
  Steve
