hi i have to purchase an hard drive to make recordings based on mac book pro for audio recording with at least 24 tracks and video postproduction with final cut studio,

i have been suggested lacie raid hard disk but in the past i used IOmega.

what do you suggest me.

Redundant Array of Independent Discs. Basically a method of storing the same data in different places on multiple hard discs, thus increasing fault-tolerance. There are at least nine types of RAID arrays that cover various levels of redundancy (protection) and speeds of data access. In most cases a RAID array appears as a single disc to the operating system of a computer.

I am trying to decide on a harddrive arrangement for my new DAW setup.

I originally thought about this:

1x WD 250GB for applications/installations/OS
2x WD 250GB for Samples/Library running in a RAID 1?
2x WD 750GB for Session/Project files running in a RAID 1?

What's up.

Howdy folks,

I'm just getting my new DAW set up and have a couple questions about setting up my hard drives. i finally figured out how to get xp to recognize them (thanks scott) and now I'm confused at how to set them up. heres my set up:

one 40gig ide for system
one 160gig SATA for audio
one 120 gig SATA for everything else (mp3s, documents, etc)

Hey, based on advise from this forum I decided to make my own cables. But now that I'm going to buy the materials I'm not totally Shure what to buy. I need to make a multicable for my studio. The instalation is going to be semi permanent, so that I'm only going to move it around a little once in a while.

I've put together my new DAW. Below are the basic specs:

Gigabyte K8ns Ultra 939 Mobo
2 GB Ram (DDR PC3200 Ram - 2x Kingston 1024mb)
AMD 64 4000 CPU
80gb IDE Western Digital HD (Win XP SP2 & Programs)

(2) Western Digital SATA 120gb (Samples/Beats)

(2) Western Digital SATA 200gb (Audio/Mixes)

Hi all,

I'm building an archive server, to hold backups, music and perform other long-term storage tasks. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with Software RAID under winxp?

I'm looking for redundancy, rather than performance gains, and this seems like the most cost effective way to go.

Thanks!

What type of hardrive is better to use more audio tracks?
If you think of any PCI hard drive accelerator card and you want to use a UAD-1 or a powercore would it load CPU performance.
Now when it comes down to which of the pasts is better let us know what your experience is.
My choice is SCSI and yours?
