I'v got older MBP with FW400 so I've decided to get eSata express card to connect external HDD for faster transfers.
I'm pretty new to eSata and RAID questions so I'm hoping to get some suggestions.
I've got 8 hours of HD video to edit. I've ordered Apiotek express card:

What would be the best solution for external staorage?
Should I get 2 separate eSata enclosures and connect through 2 eSata cables so that 1 drive is for video storage and the other for working?
or dual harddrive eSata enclosure with single eSata port?
(http://www.meritline.com/3-5-sata-raid-enclosure-with-cooling-fan-ed-35-dual.html)
also this card supports RAID and some enclosures have also listed RAID in their specifications but I'm not familiar with this system. If anyone thinks that this is a third solution worth of investigation then I'll do so:)
Thanks
