Continuing FCP vs Avid
So we have 4 Avid Ultra 160 drives for a total of approx. 5-6hrs of A/V storage @2:1. Apple offered a Lacie 1 terra external drive for a/v storage but what do people here use/recommend?

Just loving the Xserve RAID here. It’s very nice.

We use 4 SATA disks in the firmtek enclosure. Very nice and very cheap.

Why not stick a UL3D/4D in the G5 and hook up your AVID drives?

What you talkin’ ’bout Willis? Xserve is cheap as hell!
You should see what we had to pay for drives “back in the day”. $2 Grand for 36 GB back during FCP 1.You get what you pay for….. 🙂

….because to get the G5 setup with FCP we must sell the Avid system first and the drives are going with it.

They have a syncraid sata card for Raid 5 protection. 1.5 TB for under $2 Grand. Works great, and quick too.David 😀

Waaay back in the even earlier day we were paying $5000 for 9 GB drives for Avid Media Composer! Gotta love proprietary systems….
