SATA Raid Recomendation
I’m thinking of moving to a SATA raid configuration on my Final Cut Pro system. (Right now I’m using 4-FW800 drives. on my G5) The CalDigit S2VR looks pretty nice. Does anyone have experience with these or other SATA raids that they really like or really can’t stand?
Thanks for the input.

We’ve had one LaCie S2S 1.25TB Array running in one of our suites almost daily since January with zero hiccups. We just ordered another one to set up on a third editing system.

I built my own with Seagate drives and a MacGurus enclosure. It’s worked great. The fans a little loud. The Sonnet card I got was more troublesome. Early on I had a hard time getting a good connection between the card and the SATA cables. Also, eight cables are a pain. The new port multipliers sound good to me (five drives->one cable, or ten drives -> two cables). I keep them in sets of four RAID 0 drives which runs around 250MB/sec at best. When I tested ’em with eight it could run over 400MB/sec. It all depends on what your needs are.
