Re: Advice on our SAN

Thanks Bob

Can I check a couple more things with you, you seem to be the man with the knowledge.

Originally we set the raid up as 2 Raid's and we had a 32bit system accessing the drive, which wouldn't access the logical drives over 2TB, I think we can get around that now, as most of the systems are 64bit, so would I could set one large drive. WOuld I need to format this as GPT or could I still format a drive of around 5TB as NTFS. WHich wuld you recommend ?

If I did this, would I be able to share this volume over to a 32bit system, or would it only be 64 systems which could even see it, and is there any software to get over this issue.

So if I rebuilt this as a single raid, I would share the raid over both controllers, is there any standard Cache, block setting that I should aim for in building the raid suitable for editing purposes. Unfortunatle I have a little knowledge and this is perhaps my downfall, a little knowledge is a scary thing.

Many Many Thanks

It would be great to get all this hardware working a little better
