Are thee fast enough to actually use for playback in catalyst? If so, how many layers do you think you could do at the same time?
these things always give around 3 layers.
whether they are fast enough to do what you need to do - you will have to try and get a demo and test it.
it is not the benchmark data rate transfer rate that is important - it is the access times and rotational latency of the drives.
these things are dependant on the drives inside the raid, not the raid itself.

We are currently testing xserve raids for speed, and getting at least 6 dv layers.

no.
Im trying to get an xsan demo asap at apple- to do this properly,
I think you need to run a fibre channel network between computers as per apple docs-
this is apple's 'video workflow' node configuration:

Peppe was very interested in this configuration as well for an upcoming showQuote:

do you have any relationship with apple locally to you?
( and can you check your email address on here- email to you keeps getting bounced )
