Mac Pro with 4 SATA RAID 0 for capture uncompress HD.

Uli,

Don’t worry. I am not questioning your knowledge or personal integrity here. It’s all cool. You are right. Fiber raid is the way to go.

Hi David,

I didn’t feel insulted or anything like that, don’t worry. Your input was fully justified. What we are discussing here is a very limited, but low-cost solution for capturing uncompressed HD

It is possible to add at least 2 more drives to the MacPros, as there are another two SATA ports on the mainboard, you’d have to add them externally, thoough.

I wonder if one (with port-multiplication) could add another six drives.

That way you could have 10 750 GB drives before you need an XRAID or similar.

Would make a nice RAID 10 2x 3TB setup

You can of course boot from an ATA in the second optical drive bay…

I’d never go for such a huge RAID 0. The risc of data loss is multiplied!

Let’s hope Apple integrates RAID 5 into the next OS.

Uli
