I have been asked by my employer to purchase a raid array for back-up on our edit system. Here are a few specs that I will be asked for...
Mac Pro Early 2008, 2x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xenon
4 Gigs Ram
Final Cut Pro 7
Starting to use some HD footage and accumulating finished projects, so I need more storage. I don't know if there is a card to add lightning capability or not but would like to set up for eventually getting a new Mac Pro (long shot but one must dream). I think that I will probably edit on my internal raid unless someone can convince me that that isn't the best idea. Thanks Barry
