Re: Hard Drive Edit Backup FCP

Hi Richard

Thanks for your prompt, valuable feedback - looks like a RAID card is a necessity then!

3 last questions:

1. Below are the details of the four 1TB 'internal hard drives' I've been quoted with my MacPro - do you think it would be possible to combine these four drives into a Raid 5 setup?

MAC PRO 8 CORE 2.66GHZ 6GB 1TB RADEON HD 4870 512MB

WD CAVIAR GREEN 1TB SATAII 3.5" 32MB CACHE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE (3 of these to fill remaining 3 bays)

2. Or, do you think my Raid 5 would be better with the 3 "WD CAVIAR GREEN 1TB SATAII 3.5" 32MB CACHE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE" in addition to my 1TB external MyBook?

3. Last question I promise! Once I've established a Raid 5 - do I choose this one 'virtual' disk as my scratch disk in FCP?

Okay end of questions, I promise to go away now and do some research on Raid setups!

Warm regards, and thanks again for your advice and any further tips you can afford me!

Peter
