great vid bro ? for ya what is the difference between raid clas drives and normal h/d's also what is the benifit of a raid enclosure wha what puspose does it serve thanks

[TecBookPro]

@asus3571 You may want to do some research on the net about RAID, as its not classed as a type of Hard Drive, A Raid between 2 Drives (A mirror RAID) is what i am using with these 2 drives, essentially what this does is creates a backup of the other disc on the fly, so if one of the driver crashed or dies, i don't loose any data. Not having a RAID system is not having a Backup and therefore your could loose your Data if your drive crashes

I have a macbook and have a mybook western 1TB type external hard drive and wanted to know is there a way to install it in inside my mac without taking out the one that came with the mac I want to have both my external drive and the one with my mac both inside my macbook can I do it ? I know you can take apart the external drive and take the drive out of the cover but wanted to know if can have it the one that came with my mac?

@Mastersun88 Unfortunately you can only have one 2.5" Hard Drive in a MacBook, or MacBook Pro, although you can take out the optical drive (DVD Drive), and put in a second Hard Drive but that is a difficult process.

hello, where we can find this enclosure model?

thanks

Ok question. I have done RAID before the moment I got my PowerMac G5. Apple is extremely user friendly when it comes to striping. My question is, what is the benefit of doing this vs buying an external HDD (3TBs are going for about 140 by me) and using a program like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper and mirroring the drive that way

[deadly1010P]

super fast mode aaaahhhhhhhhh

[dame12712]

I have a MAC g5 can put then in minds

[sujin99999]

i heard this thing has 1000 gb each is that true?

[asus3571]

@TecBookPro yea i know what raid is i should have refraized my ? microcenter has advertized samsung spinpoint f4 rais class drives just wanted to know why they were called raid class

[ixy1987]

to create raid 5 do you need additional component to enable raid ???

Lol, Macs...
