Right, so I've ordered a new iMac to replace my 2009 i7. I've been using the internal drive on the machine im replacing to edit and record audio (with no probs). My massive Lightroom catalog has always been on several FireWire 800 drives, and it's works out fine
Now I've gone for the 512 ssd option, and I plan to work with external drives instead with recording and mixing audio. I fully intend to go for an OWC thunderbay with the raid 5 solution when funds allow it. I'll need it for the video editing I'm starting to work with.
At the minute, however, I can't afford a decent RAID 5 options. Is anybody using Glyph studio drives, or maybe the LaCie D2 thunderbolt options for audio recording, or even basic video editing. There seems to be a lot of positive reviews regarding Glyph technologies. It's a pity it's only FireWire and usb 3, but there's the studio raid from glyph, which im wondering if it might give decent performance when used in raid 0? I could afford the £320 it's going for in the Uk. I also need to factor in the cost of multiple backup drives.
Any advice is much appreciated! My Noggin is beyond fried as buck trying to find a decent solution.
