My most of the work will be SD for time being. i was just wondering about Compatibility of Tiger and FCP 4.5 and Decklink. I just eager to know about FCP 5. All suggestions are welcome.

Drop SCSI and go Fibre Channel. Apple hasn’t supported SCSI for OS X and it’s up to the card / drive manufacturers to make it work. (notice Apple doesn’t sell a SCSI card or SCSI drives?)
I prefer the AJA Kona 2 for a capture card though the Aurora Pipe series is a close second.

Hi,
The Medea Fibre Channel Video Raid reviewed here supports SCSCI Drives so you could migrate to Fibre Channel and use your SCSI drives:

You might also want to check his benchmarks. A cheap SATA array is just as fast.
