it doesnt work as well if you put the os on the same disc as the media.Originally Posted by Chris
there is a penalty in placing the os on the raid.
you need to keep the media drives separate from the operating system.

no more fragile than any hard disc?Originally Posted by Bullen
The performance is a whole lot better.
Like it works....it really makes a difference.
Standard ATA drives - in any configuration you care to mention - raid this or that - particularily using firewire dont work as well.
Raptors are almost as fast as scsi.

Testing with the Beta, that works fine, I don't think it was a HD problem.Originally Posted by Chris

you arent playing back enough layers at the moment to notice the hard drive issues.Originally Posted by Bullen
The beta uses a slightly different sync algorithm.
We got our media servers from the Highend distributor in Germany and they I think got their information from Highend in London and there Hugh must be the responsable person!? It was the newest configuration suggestion at the time we bought them.Originally Posted by samsc
I hope that this information was right!?

I personally prefer the single disc internal scsi solution because the disc capacity is bigger.
Not sure about whether to put them in a raid array with the system disc on the same disc just yet.
Mike in austin is still doing some testing.
Performance is definitely better if you dont put the system on the media disc.
But this only affects 4 simultaneous layers at 25fps....
This is a complex debate.
