[jason levy] ” get these little lines that look like analog dropouts maybe 6 or 7 per half hour,” can’t say if it’s because of raid
but in case if you want to know about SATA RAID, well mine is working fine though it’s a bit of reverse engineering. I have two internal 250GB 16mb cache sata drives, configured as raid 0 (read and write is 90-110 MB/s) i’m using external drive d2 LaCie (extreme edition) for system and audio which is connected to Firewire800.
I know not it’s not a regular technique but hey it’s great for SD work and it’s easy on system resources.
cheers
