Is there any way of viewing more than one angle on an external monitor? I’m using a Kona LHe with DVC Pro HD 1080i60 footage @ 23.98fps (24/60)

quite right I stand corrected, I was a little rushed. SATA is probably going to be your best bet if you’ve just got one suite (it’s a lot cheaper!)

If your just using one computer then compresser should ‘see’ all the processors and distribute accordingly, bring up activity monitor and submit a batch to see if they’re all being used.
If you want to use multiple computers use apple qmaster to set up a farm.

Go to disk utility, there you will see a list of drives, click on the top level of your lacie and see what it says on the right. If it is an NTFS formatted drive it will not take files larger than 2GB. which is why it would stop at 8mins every time.
You can also format your drive from here (choose Mac OSX extended (journaled)) but note that it will wipe everything that is on the drive.
Hope that helps!

I work at a post house and we use LACIE’s or G-Tech’s however I would highly recommend the G-tech drives as sometimes the lacie’s controller fails. (also they look nice!)
However you will not be able to digitise uncompressed HD onto any external drive unless it is a RAID set with optical connections, as the bandwidth is not large enough. You can however digitise at DVCProHD or HDV
