What are the best storage/hard drives ?
I am about to embark on a project that could last 5 years and involve 200-500 tapes.
I have used 500 GB Lacie Dirves for all my previous project (6 TB TOTAL).I would like to have 1-2TB of storage available for this next project and I would like to keep my drive costs at around $2,000.
any suggestions?
thanks

Thanks Shane.
I found this article…
https://www.barefeats.com/fire46.htmlCan you explain the third configuratiuon to me? “DUAL d2 Extree (2ch)
This appears to be the best set up.
thanks

“DUAL d2 Extree (2ch) means that it’s 2 LaCie d2 HD in a RAID 0 configuration across 2 channels. Probably 1 drive connected to the built-in port and 1 drive connected to a FW800 card.
Hope this helps.

I have two 1TB G-Raids which have been working for about nine months with no problems.
They were about $1k each.

I was told that I need to use “special software” if I want to run a RAID 0 configuration.
Is this true?
Is the software free from Lacie?thanks

G-Raids and LaCie Big Disks have two drives that are HARDWARE Raided to Raid 0…so no software is needed. And no special software is needed to raid the drives, the Disk Utility does a fine job.

Hi,
To set up a RAID 0 configuration between 2 or more drives, you can simply use OS X Disk Utility (it’s free, part of OS X). Once you have your drives connected, open disk utility and you can set up your RAID in a couple clicks.
