Richard,

I am currently having the Apple raid taken out and purchasing a Caldigit raid card that can be config’d for raid 5 . I’m installing another 500 gb hard drives to store the Os and applications on and using the raid for the other 4 500 gb hard drives

They did mention to have someone do it for us because of the wire length.

You mentioned: “Likewise, it will allow you to add up to three HD Element Arrays. Now that’s sexy time!” What does that mean?

Thanks

Brian

Dave,

Thanks for the feedback. I am bringing the system back to the apple store right now to have them remove the Raid card. Your response echoes what we have hear before. I will call Caldigit and ask them about an internal raid 5 config. What is you opinion of 0 vs five if we can do both

Ernie,

Thanks for responding so promptly. We are using three drives for the raid and one for the OS. The mouse freezes or when it does work it is in hiper drive. We are testing it now and it is not exclusive to FCP but FCP really activates the crash faster
