Also you want to be running two drives as RAID 0 for speed, mirrored to RAID 1 for security. Trouble is they've all got to be the same drive, and it never seems the right time to throw away all your current drives and start anew. And in your new G5 this is going to be a pain, as there are only two drive bays!! Hell even better, Firewire800 external drives, x4, RAID0 & RAID1. Should cover most peoples needs. regards Paul PS - unfortunately in OSX, as the RAID is software, the RAID cannot be seen when running in OS9.
