Ok on a spending roll now - where do you tend to buy your disks or is just where ever is cheapest?

Thanks

Don't want to embarrass the guy, but I'd certainly give him the credit - I wouldn't have considered a raptor raid setup without his advice.

It looks like there might be a number of Mac Pro's knocking around PH. smile

Oh certainly he gets heaps of credit but you had your part to play smile

Still not sure what configuration to put the disks into though, given my external drive set up as well (see disk strategy thread) however will be putting in 4 disks assuming that money doesn't run out smile
