[QUOTE="martyp, post: 703535, member: 61183"] So long as it's a female I'm good with it. ;D Joking aside, 'striping' aka. RAID0, Is what I setup on my PC with the 2x 160Gb drives. Same principles apply, buy two (or more) identical drives however, since you get NO redundancy (why this is considered RAID, should be AID!) you will gain the speed/space of two (or more) HDDs running as one. You'll find reading/writing your 1Gb+ .PSD files faster than just one HDD on its own. The more drives the more space and speed you'll gain. However, smaller files you won't notice any any improvement. Files are split 50/50 over the drives so the two drives work together to access them faster. Just remember your Mac Pro must support RAID0 to work or you'll still need to buy a (usually) expensive RAID controller for it. HTH you out some. [/QUOTE]
