A 2TB G-Raid probably means that there are two 1TB hd’s in one enclosure. So you can do a Raid1 mirror.
It won’t be a real raid system like we are used to.

Oh I forgot about the AV speed.
If you increase the read performance it is better for AV editing.

There is no need of partitioning a raid 5 array.
The speed loss with thunderbolt is common, you never get the theoretical speed with thunderbolt.
Partitioning doesn’t result in gaining speed – not to my experience – how should this happen?

March 22, 2015 at 12:51 pm in reply to: Sony FX1 FCE 4.01 Capture Issues

Did the camera work before?
If you wree able to capture with the camera over FW in the past and suddenly it didn’t work with the same settings it is more likely that the FW output on the camera is dead. It is a known bottleneck with Sony consumer cameras. Reset the menue of the camera and try again. Try update the camera software.

March 21, 2015 at 12:23 pm in reply to: Startech.com RAID 5 array seems a very slow, wondering if there is a problem

You are roughly on the data speed of FW400.
I don’t think the drives minimize the speed. I think that you have other devices attached to your computer on the same bus.
But more than around 70MB/s data speed won’t be possible with FW800 and Raid5. Your best connection is the eSata.

you have to set the 720×576 to anamorphic and then throw it on the anarmorphic SD sequence.
Voila – it shows you 16×9 without a black bar. Its a click in the media bin if you scroll right.

1. I don’t know how much space you need.
2. no loss of read/write speed even when the raid is filled up.
Leave a little headroom of free space (around 10% of the whole capacity.
A loss of read/write speed occurs mainly with eSata connections.

the speed with R6 or 8 is roughly the same.
In real you’ll get around 800 MB/s Datarate. You’ll loose 1 disc of capacity for Raid5 two discs for Raid6.

March 15, 2015 at 8:39 pm in reply to: Used FCS 3. Things to remember before buying.

Go for avid MC,

we use FCS for old projects, personally I don’t like Adobe, we’re still on a box version, mainly we use it for Photoshop and After Effects. FCP is dying (we use it with snow leopard 10.6).
