Bob, Fred, thank you very much. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your advice, I thought I had gone nuts. My idea to put a mac pro station in an RV was questionable to begin with given the unreliable nature of power, communications and environment, but I didn’t want the fact of a 1-2 year RV adventure to get in the way of learning FCP and related systems.

Besides, I read the fine print on the Seagates that said they could withstand 350 g’s. I know it means nothing, but a guy can dream of zero failures, can’t he?

The RAID card is outta here. Am cobbling together a temporary external backup array. Pure and lovely sine wave power will soon be on board. And, I guess I’ll have to take an RV shower, to honor Bob’s main concern. Even though it’s not that time of the month yet.

Thanks again.
