resulting in an array that corresponds to the smallest disk. I guess some individual vendor's hardware might have different limitations. I've read a bunch of posts to this thread, probably not all of them. Are y'all wanting raid for redundancy or performance? If it is for performance, what causes that requirement? Are your tools blowing out data so fast that you're ending up with corrupted files or ? -Mike |

Yes it did not sound off to me I was just checking and it is really not a big deal. I told I would end up with 4 GB in Raid and 2 GB in a different config, which will work fine . As I noted I am brand new to RAID

I thought the reason for RAID was to have Aggregate of all the drives ? And no, not performance and not data corruption, the reason is for file storage , specifically Final Cut Pro X video files. My iMac works fine performance wise for my audio recording mixing and video recording and editing ... But even though it is 2 TB iMac it was close to running out of storage, before I purged the FCPX folder. And most of my recordings are now for music audio/video productions

Combining disks of different sizes is not RAID, but often called JBOD (just a bunch of disks) or some other name. Your controller may support that, but you won't get the option of redundancy or speed with that choice.

^^ what keith.rogers said ^^
Generally you can raid different sized disks together, but you end up not using the space on the bigger disks that exceeds the size of the smallest one... -Mike |

If you just want more disk space, I'd skip RAID. Just add more disks. What raid gives you is the ability to either write different data in parallel to multiple disks (for speed), or to write the same data multiple times (for automatic backup). Or if you have enough disks you can get both. With RAID 0, where you're splitting the data across disks, you do get the benefit of treating multiple drives as a single larger drive, but that comes with a cost - if any single drive fails, all your data will be lost. If you skipped RAID and just had two 1TB drives, for example, and one failed, you'd still have the projects stored on the other disk. With RAID, if one fails, you have lost everything. If you're not using RAID for performance or redundancy (basically an automatic backup), there's little reason to use it.

Hey thanks a bunch great info ..
Yes probably not for redundancy or performance (yet any way) But I am still just learning My plan was simply use the extra drives as storage and then load the FCPX folder for a particular project ( I make a folder for each project with all the raw footage, photo's if any, audio and the library ) on to my iMac from the external drives and work on it there But Doug as per the other thread about Streaming I am liking the idea of doing the video in FCPX but then go back to PT with the finished video and master the audio and export that to Youtube

Just a quick update
I did get the OWC 4 slot PCIe SSD enclosure and did skip putting them in RAID Mostly because the are for storage for finished video projects . Any current one I am working is on the Computer SSD Also notice a very faint fan noise that for example I do not want when recording mic'ed audio So here is a screen shot the new SSD's show up in Yellow

I've been using RAID for well over twenty years. I use RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 5 depending on the use. I use RAID 0 ONLY for things like Photoshop scratch disc - because it's the fastest and, more importantly, there's never going to be anything stored permanently on a RAID 0 pair (and yeah, you can have more than two but most are just doing two). If one drive fails in a RAID 0 array you lose everything on both drives and that's not an acceptable risk for me. For all my working files and projects, I use a two drive RAID 1 - both for Photoshop and for Logic, well I did for Logic until the new M1 Max with its super fast internal drives arrived. That is backed up daily to a separate 5TB external Time Machine drive.
And finally for long term storage and archive I have something like 40 TB of RAID 5 storage, with each array being duplicated so there are two arrays, each with the same data and each of which that can lose a single drive and still have the array rebuilt. No drives last forever but some configurations are more prone to risk so you need a thought out strategy to guide you to making the best choices.
