Re: Striping internal drives on a Mac G4 dual 125

The Disk Utility striping utility should be fine. I have the same setup (IOLA and G4 MDD 1.25). I don't think a 2 drive array is fast enough for FCP work, unless you're only doing DV work (I'm guessing no, since you have the IOLA). Get a 3rd (or even 2 more drives). And make sure they're exactly the same as the 2 existing drives. Another option (and the one we used), is to put 4 drives in the G4, all striped together, and using a FireWire drive as the boot drive. We even got a 2 drive FW case, so we have yet another drive for backing projects up.
