I'd like to purchase some kind of external Raid solution to store video. I shoot a lot of weddings and like to keep the original files saved for several weeks after the bride receives her DVD. I have some 750's in the Mac Pro for capturing/working on weddings, but I need something else for storage.
I really like the Drobo, but its USB 2.0 only. I don't know how well that will work if I ever need to edit something on it. I've looked at G-Raid and Cal Digit, as well as several other brands. They all seem rather pricey for the 1.5 TB or higher stuff. Has anyone ever purchased an empty drive bay that came with a controller card? I'd like to add the drives of my choice and not what they sell me. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
