That’s great info Craig, exactly what I was looking for. As far as the drives go, it seems a single Thunderbolt connected drive might have the speed to support what I want to do, for about half the cost of a RAID (LaCie 3tb Thunderbolt vs. G-Tech 4tb RAID Thunderbolt). What are you thoughts on using that set up until I can save the funds for a RAID, and then using the LaCie daisy chained as a back up in the future? Sure, I could go right to a RAID right now, but it would be smart to have a backup with the RAID, and that definitely wouldn’t happen now if a RAID were purchased first.
Thanks for the links on the books, I have been watching Ripple Training’s MC6.5 tutorials. The books are probably a great resource in addition.
