hey guys,
I am looking for an external storage enclosure/solution that can accommodate 4-5 SATA II disks. I want to be able to configure the disks in RAID0 and use it as a Scratch Disk for Final Cut Studio & Adobe CS5 Apps.
So the workflow should be: External Enclosure connected to the Raid Card in Mac Pro via eSATA or miniSAS.
Let me know what you guys know of a good solution.
PS: This solution is for a small-medium production facility that records 2-3 hours for AVCHD in one take weekly, and then gets transcoded to ProRes 422/LT in Final Cut Pro for editing and exporting for web/DVD distribution.
I have previously posted a thread regarding this, but I was looking into an internal storage solution to add 6 SATA disks, and since Mac Pro only allow 4 SATA disks, additional modding is required to accommodate more internal disks. I am hesitant to do that to a system that will be used by someone else other than myself.
Thanks a lot!
