I'm thinking of building a 2 SATA2 Drive RAID over PCI (not PCI-E, we bought a dual-slot Video Card which blocked the second PCI-E port.) to possibly do some uncompressed editing with my Intensity Pro or use Cineform down the line. My motherboard (nForce 630i) from what I've read supports 66Mhz PCI 2.1. All I ask is, is it worth it to use a 2 disk PCI RAID with caching on for Uncompressed HD or should I go for a single drive setup with compressed video?

In addition, what are the typical and maximum bitrates of codecs like Cineform NEO HD?

Please answer.

I've made my decision, I'm gonna RAID as soon as we purchase Cineform because I might be using the "Film Scan" quality mode a lot. A single drive unbuffered is still only 15MB/s, so 2 drives buffered should be more than enough for a reliable capture.
