Spec'ing out a new Mac Pro... RAID?
Tuesday, November 27, 2007 
I am spec'ing a new Mac for work and had a question about RAIDs in particular. Its a lot more expensive to set up a RAID (card and drives, etc)... is this worth it only if you're working with a lot of large assets (like huge RAW images and video footage)? I know RAID can provide multiplicity in files (mirroring data), but if I simply set up an internal drive for TimeMachine, doesn't most of the appeal of RAID go away (if I am not using huge files)? Is there simply some geek-cool factor about having a RAID in the box? Think it might be overkill for me, but wanted to collect some opinions on the matter.
