Thanks again for the assistance and taking the time to reply several times.

As long as I could still have this drive hooked up to a PC and have its content, able to be viewed / played / opened on MACs on the network, then I would be okay using a 2nd exFAT formatted drive to consolidate media to the G-RAID.

Would this be the case?
Other Macs on my network could still read / write to a NTFS formatted RAID 1 drive?

And David, do you have any insight into whether the exFAT partition I created already is successfully mirroring to the second drive in the RAID 1 config, even thought the config was Mac OS extended (Journaled) format?

Hi David,

I am not on set nor am I planning to edit from this setup.

I am merely using this drive to house various finished media formats and project archives which i want to be accessible and / or streamable on my network.

Main purpose is for media share. Occassionally a video or audio editing program might access an archive from the drive on its host machine or over the network but its not the main purpose. Most of the time the archive would just be moved to a desktop from the RAID.

I am planning to consolidate media from several different machines (mac & pc) and prefer to connect the drives directly for this as opposed to transfering over my network.

Im confused as to whether the array will be sucessfully mirroring with the Journaled Raid config and an exFAT partition format.

Thanks Shane,

Is there a means of using L&T to do this when setting up a project while also avoiding using L&T to transcode to a different format. So basically just put in the reel names by importing files through L&T.

Thanks.
