Thanks for all the responses!

I am now thinking of:

Adding 2 SATA drives

1 for raw data
1 for rendered images.

This link, https://faq.storagereview.com/tiki-index.php?page=SingleDriveVsRaid0 has more details, but that seems like a good, balanced price/performance for a single user doing video editing.

In the past (using pinnacle), the cpu was not used too much and commit charge / peak hovered at just under 1 GB, which would lead me to believe cpu in under used waiting for I/O, ram could use a little boost, but not taxed.

Still awaiting the box for vegas though, and eager to get a hw config setup.

Thanks again!
All ideas are appreciated!

Well based on the following:

https://shop.store.yahoo.com/directron/patasata.html

my aim will be at SATA.

Doesn’t seem all that much more expensive, but the power specs look bettter. As for SCSI, looks too expensive.

Now can anyone recommend a good quality SATA Raid card that allows me to:

1. Setup the RAID0 array with my preferred stripesize.

2. Have each drive should be master on its own channel (separate cable) for maximum performance.
