Yeah honestly the new dual quad mac pro was a bigger announcement than anything that came out at MacWorld today in my opinion of course. It's also priced surprisingly well.
Oh I'm not saying it's a good thing (in fact I'd never buy one) I'm just saying theres no way to get it that thin and still have an optical drive built-in.
I watched it as well and my thoughts pretty much mirror yours. I think it could end up being a pretty good show. The cast is pretty good and yes especially Summer Glau .
Not really you pretty much have to do with mirroring (RAID1) unless it can support using the drives in non-raid mode. Then you'd just have two separate 320gig drives.
Ok if it's showing up as one 640gig drive then you setup a RAID0 array. Be aware that this is designed for increased speed but comes with some serious drawbacks. If either drive dies you lose everything on both.
Have you tried getting the latest promise drivers?
Ah yep I kind assumed you had installed the drivers for that already . Glad you got it figured out and remember while raid can be a savior at times its not a replacement for doing backups.
Did you ever format the drives and did you actually want to set them up in a raid array?
If the RAID array is initialized correctly you should only see one logical drive and you'd be able to partition and format it.
By raid utility are you referring to the raid bios/setup? Or some windows based utility? Oh and which raid are you using I believe that board has intel raid and promise raid on it.
So I've been thinking about getting a cat for a few months now and I've started narrowing down the breeds I'm interested in. Here's the short list so far:
British Shorthair
Scottish Flop
Siberian
Any other suggestions from fellow head-case cat owners?
I still think it's probably the best blu-ray player around. It has the benefit of having way more processing power than needed and a steady stream of updates if any bugs show up.
