Re: re-stripiing sata drives

OK, I get it... RAID O is a bad idea. But given the system I own, what choice to I have? Can I do any kind of redundancy with this array? I thought not... so I have to do with what I've got, right?

Perhaps you missed my previous msg, Bob...
I have a PowerMac G5 Quad, ID 11,2, Processor Speed 2.5 GHz, Memory 4GB. And yes, the G5 has two ethernet ports. Naturally, I want to upgrade the array soon, but am not sure when I'll be able to. But for the sake of argument, what are your suggestions? Bang for buck would be nice, but performance and reliability are of the utmost importance, of course.

BTW, we do mainly volcano stock footage to companies around the world... Nat'l Geo, Discovery, etc. They always request totally uncompressed vid... I don't think ProRes422HQ or DVCProHD would be acceptable to them. Might be for other projects, but we also like to replicate our volcano documentaries to Blu-Ray. Always do those uncompressed to HDCAM. Why would we do anything else?

Appreciate the re-striping info. I will await your response(s) prior to utilizing same.

Aloha,
