Bob, thank you for your replay. I’ve ran the tests from AJA, BMD and also HD Drive Speed Test I’ve got here https://www.unscale.com/DST.html, they all indicate it’s OK for SD. I didn’t notice any suspect lights.

I’m evaluating two things. First, Sonnet Fusion 400P itself has got some very good reviews when it was released, but the drives can be “a little bit tired” 😉 I’ve got four 250 Gb Maxtor drives inside. 1 Tb drives are cheap those days, some new single plate 500 Gb drives are even cheaper. What drives can you recommend to get a good four drives stripped RAID with correct sustained white speed?

Second, will I get any speed gain if I install SoftRAID? I’ve read some rather good and even enthusiastic reviews, but everyone mentions its superior monitoring capabilities. But what about speed gain?

Thanks a lot for your help.
