Hi Guys, thought you might be interesed.
I’ve just taken delivery of an 8 disk RAID5, 4TB system for my Final Cut Pro HD suite based on my existing MacPro Quad and I’m very impressed. I bought it from a company in the UK called Rentaraid and I’m amazed they can put together a system that has such extensive RAID capabilities for the price. It’s also physically compact and quiet which is a great bonus. We’ve done a huge amount of testing and pulled drives in and out and it’s coped without fault and rebuilt the raid. Whilst rebuilding it allows me to read and write data upto 200m/b, everything is done in the bkgd. System very fast easily enough for HD 10bit uncompressed…and safe. Neil at Rentaraid was a great help setting up the system and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.Kev

Run it for 6 months straight in daily HD production and then let us know how it is. I was extremely impressed with the CalDigit S2VR HD units right out of the box and let the entire Cow Community know I was impressed. But they could not hold up to day to day operation and did not last more than three months in our shop. So if your unit runs solid for at least 6 months, 8 to 12 hours a day, then let us know, I would definitely take a peek at them.

From all threads I could read, 3Ware “Sidecar” and Areca were standing out from the bag. Have you tried any Walter ?
