[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 210851, member: 11094"] I'm assuming the RAID is not external since it'd be just as easy to connect it to the Mac versus firewire to a PC. If the RAID is formatted in NTFS than it wouldn't work since Macs can't write to NTFS volumes. LaCie makes a decent 1.2TB firewire storage unit for 869.00 (retail) I think. It supports RAID 0 or JBOD. They don't offer any hardware RAID units for firewire 400 other than RAID 0. If you really want to edit HD video SATAII is the ideal. However the iMac does not have that capability. Firewire 400 is not the best through put for HD. Even Firewire 800 isn't ideal. Even if you were to get the PC and the Mac setup over firewire (sharing the RAID), performance still would not be what it should. [/QUOTE]
