Hey guys and gals,
I've been attempting at building a RAID drive for a client for two weeks with really mixed results. They have FCPX and a 2011 iMac. I purchased them 2 G-Tech 8TB Firewire drives and have them RAID 1 via Disk Utility. Throughout this time, the RAID has failed multiple times, resulting in me replacing one of the drives thinking it was that but alas it wasn't. Purchased another drive, same thing.
Now it's worth noting that I'm bringing around 800GB worth of data over from their Time Machine backup as their main internal drive failed. Equally, it seems like the failed attempt usually happens when the Render files are coming over from the Final Cut Projects folder though I'm not entirely sure on that. Rebuilding the RAID is ever so problematic as the computer quotes me 3-6 days depending on when the drive in question has failed.
I'm to my wits end with this so any help would be supremely appreciated. Could the issue be the Render folder? What else can I look for?
