Well, I've inherited a G4 w/ a 149 GB Raid drive, and I'm going to try to put together a small recording system bit by bit. The Mac hard drive is only 17 GB. I am intending to use LOGIC 6 Gold. I will be recording live sound as well as midi.
Can I use the RAID drive to advantage, or if not can I reconfigure it as individual drives?
I am really a novice and need some advice here.
Thanks and
PAX

IMO configuring a RAID system to increase I/O performance is a nice thing to do.
Pretty much agree with dixie, just like to add:
While a RAID 0 (stripe or concat) will increase both read and write performance, any mirroring RAID level (1, 3, 5) will increase read perfomance, but, depending basically on the hardware I/O configuration, might decrease write performance (to write to a mirror, you obviously need to physically write data more then once), and is therefore not an option for audio recording (except for a very sofisticated setup, i.e. configuring your loops and samples - read-only when recording - on a mirror.
I don't have RAID experience with Macs, though.
Cheers,
