Memory Needed?

and 2 drives can be slower than 1.
so you have to be careful.
because data has to be read off both drives.

Is it conceivable that Catalyst could be configured for each layer to use a separate drive?

If you configured Catalyst to read each layer from a sep. drive you would need 4 times the storage space and have to maintain 4 copies of the same material. Sounds like a pain to me.

No.

this just doesnt work - unfortunately. this part of the mac is not multithreaded - quicktime only does one thing at once.

and the slowest drive in the system drags performance down.

if you put content on an internal drive, and on a scsi drive at the same time.
the slowest drive will pull things down.
