I just looked at the approved drive page on the BM website. The 512 M4 seems to have been removed. I would swear it was listed at one time!

Thank you all. We’ve decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and buy an external raid. I’m not liking my initial idea of using four internal trays because it’s still one controller. We’ll buy a raid controller card and a four drive raid. Currently looking at G-Force and Stardom. Will probably find more today to add to the list of considerations. I know SAS raids are faster, but I’m afraid SCSI drives won’t be around forever. Think SATA is a safer way to go.
…learning new stuff is good.

Thank you all. Can these speeds be accomplished by filling the four internal drive trays or do I need to step up to an external array. I spoke with BM earlier and they recommend G Technologies or Stardom external raids. I’d prefer to go the cheaper route of using the PATA drive for OS/apps and four SATA trays for the array, HOWEVER, if this won’t work, I’ll try to sell the external raid upstairs.
Thanks again!

I just ran the Disk Speed Test from Blackmagic. My results are:

Does this help?
