Hi everyone,

This could go in storage or studio design: I’m reconfiguring my very small work station in a NYC apartment. My drives, working and storage, are on a bare wood shelf at the moment, that I would like to re-enforce. Do I add ribbed rubber mats to prevent vibrations and movement? Do I add some kind of metal elevated shelving piece with…

Thanks Bob and Robert. Bob, your repsonse is indeed wonderful. However, I think there is a happy medium between an argument of *never* having to upgrade, vs. upgrading every time you turn your head. Remember when we could add storage and memory to macs? Remember when macs had ports? Of course we all do, and, of course I will happily upgrade when…

Robert, can I make the assumption from this conversation, that I can happily purchase a T3 Raid, plus a T2 adaptor, until I am ready to purchase a new iMAC?

Hello,

I am on the verge of upgrading my storage and editing drives. I’m eyeing an OWC or GTECH Raid 5, or maybe just a RAID 1. The question, however, lies in the decision on whether to get a T3 RAID PLUS an adaptor, vs a T2 RAID straight to my older iMac, which has T2 only.
Does using an adaptor increase any possibility of dropframes or other…

Is this a lossless transfer? I work with MINI DV tapes, and have yet to find a better workflow than the following, which is not ideal, but it is lossless:
1. play tapes from mini dv deck
2. connect via firewire to OLD mac laptop with firewire 800 doc.
3. Import via FCP or Premiere Pro – although I end up using FCP because premiere sticks with tape…
