This Is A RAID
Final Cut Pro (badge number 5.1.4) busted me. The charge: dropped frames in a 40-minute sequence while trying to smuggle edited footage back to tape (via Print to Video). Needing some advice to bail me out of this project’s arrested development …
In all seriousness, I’m looking for a reference/tutorial on how to configure my external hard drives into a RAID. Plus the mechanics (the whys) behind this set-up. I have a work-around that has seen me through the current project in which the errors cropped up. So I’m basically looking ahead with this post to enjoy a future of smoother workflows.
Right now, the three LaCie drives I’m using

Using three firewire drives to form a RAID won’t really improve speed that much because they are all on the same firewire bus. The most common RAIDs that you see right now are probably SATA drives.
To get more info on different RAIDs, do a google search. I also like to visit barefeats.com.

It sounds like your problem comes form trying to send to much data through the one firewire bus on the computer (yes you have multiple ports, but unless you ass a second FW card there is ONLY one FW bus)
Its like trying to send to much through a pipe at one time.
