� I will be booting into it this weekend to import records from a 17-file FileMaker 6 solution into intermediate files (which have both the old and the new table structure) and then into the final structure. Who still uses OS9 and for what?:confused: Nanofrog is the RAID-whizz around here and I am sure he would be able to suggest something for you. I would go with a 6G controller so as to take advantage of new fast 6G SSD's etc. For your needs something like the ARC-1880-i SAS 6G RAID Controller would suffice if you don't plan to connect external RAID/Storage solution.

The most recommend cards right now are the Areca 6g 1880 series or the new ATTO 6G series. Or Just RAID5 with 3x HDD's and partition the RAID volume.

RAID5 is great for storing uncompressed video data and in your case would offer protection against a single drive failure. I would get an SSD for the OS and use the 3x 7200rpm Disks in RAID5. RAID-Z1 apparently offers similar performance to RAID5. If on a budget you could go with RAID-Z, it involves switching to the ZFS file system. Also a true hardware RAID takes the processing load off your processors and memory. You would most certainly see a benefit in a hardware RAID solution, especially if you are going to switch to a RAID level with some redundancy, like RAID5 or RAID10. RAID0 offers no fault tolerance as no drives in the array share parity info or are mirrored. leaving it to the OS to handle? Any suggestions for me?ģ drives in RAID0 ? Yikes, anyone of them goes and your machine is out of action. My questions is is it beneficial for me to get a RAID card to control these drives vs. The drives are all 7200rpm from varying manufacturers.

So Im a freelance Editor/Motion Graphics guy with no real understanding of RAID Controller Cards, or how they work.Īs of right now I have three 1TB drives inside my Mac Pro, RAIDed together (stripe 0) using the OS.
