re-stripiing sata drives
by Mick Kalber on Jul 1, 2009 at 10:26:09 am

Hey gang...

We made the mistake several years ago of buying a 10T SATA array from ProMax (easy now... I can hear the groans all the way out here in Hawaii). It's been pretty much of a nightmare, but we've weathered the storm somehow... at least until now. The array was divided into 2 Raids at Raid 0. One is currently working, the other is not. My plan is to wipe everything off both and re-stripe. I need suggestions as to how to do that... or what to do instead. I've read in the archive about Raid 5 and how it is redundant, but uses more space. I'm about to jump into an hour-long doc, so I'd hate to lose a drive (or drives) in the middle, but I also need as much space as I can get. We won't be doing a lot of compositing, mostly just cuts and dissolves. We have a Dual Core G5 with a 3T internal hard drive. We're running FCP 6 on OSXv10.5.6. We do almost entirely HDCAM capturing via HDSDI... 4:2:2 8-Bit. What would be the best approach? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
