We actually have the raid partitioned into 244gb partitions. Supposedly you get better performance out of Avid that way. Here is a screenshot of the Disk Management window. This is what shows up when the RTR320X is plugged in...

To change the SCSI id on the RTR 320x, you would have to use a small screwdriver and rotate a small selector on the back. As long as it is not set to ID 7, and it is the only drive connected, you should be fine. If you have not adjusted it, don't d | | | | |

don't be "penny wise and pound foolish". Buy the ATTO R380 (or the cheaper single port ATTO R348 - same card, but only one port - you only need one port). This is a great card, it's the Supported card, and does RAID 5 perfectly. This card is used | | | | |
