[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 830674, member: 38864"] Barring a more authoritative response since I don't do that type of work.... I would imagine that getting a Firewire 800 enclosure that will let you run 2 or more drives as a RAID 0 (stripe) array should do fine. You should do hardware RAID though, rather than using a software solution like OS X supports with non-RAID hardware. [URL="http://www.cwol.com/serial-ata/sata-firewire-usb-raid-ezraid.htm"]This enclosure[/URL] for example will let you take 2 SATA drives, run them as a single 1.5 TB drive with a sustained data transfer rate of 80MB/sec. I may be overlooking something, but this should give you something to start with. [/QUOTE]
