Hi all,
So here's the question, well a few. I have a Mac Pro, Quad 2.6, 5GB ram, running latest Leopard. Three internal drives, boot (stock) 250GB, 2nd bay 500GB and 3rd bay 750GB.
Question 1, which cohuld make the other questions pointless. I want to do a RAID, I've never done it before. Do the first two have to be the same size??
I hear a lot of horror stories about lossing all data. can I RAID0 the two smaller drives and RAID1 them to the 750GB?
Any help on this matter would be great. Do I go for speed or space? I work a lot in Photoshop on huge files! Larger than GB sometimes!!???
Thanks all!
For get all of that! I don't have a RAID card!!! So what about striping?
