Building a new M100 system
I really could use some advice here as to waht to buy to build a M100 HDe system.
If I buy a Mac G5 quad, what type of external drives would I need. Curently I edit on Beta SP and DV, with the hope of editing on HD in the future. But for now let’s say Beta SP.
Would G-Raid drives work for me?
What else would I need to buy as far as any sata cards or ATTO? How much RAM would I need?
Thanks for all of your help. This is getting exciting!

The fastest and cheapest drives are to buy a FirmTek enclosure and board for about $400. You can add four 500gig SATA-II drives to each bay and it is removable storage. The data transfer rate is the FASTEST RATE that can be obtained–it literally blows away every other system on the market–I tested them all… and the whole thing will cost you only $1,000 for 2,000 GIGS. Don’t buy those those over priced RAID systems because their data transfer rates can’t even come close to this sytem.
