    I have 2 Ggs of RAM, 1 one top of the standard edition,... I really don't feel any real changes in playback movies with Catalyst, the speed changes (regarding RAM) only happens when I export movies form Quicktime to optmize the library.

    Thanks for the advice on the Apple RAID, I have set mine up the same ( but using 3-500gig Western Digital drives... just under 1.4 TB of usable space...

    if you use big raids - create small partitions - much smaller than the disc- say 1/3 the size - then the access times for content will be faster.

    So I should build a couple of partions instead of 1 1.4tb RAID?
    I thought the advantage of a striped RAID was the ability to have a large drive set without a bunch of partions?

    Which block size 256K?

    Thanks for all your help.

    seek time. you lower the seek times if you have smaller partitions.

    but this is just an idea.

    generally for most people a single fast drive works better than any combination of slower raided drives.
    unless doing uncompressed video type things - which you dont really need to do in almost all applications.

    Makes sense.
