Yes. I had two RAID slots on a Mobo I bought a few years ago when I built a comp, well a friend helped me. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:14
You could easily set up a software RAID in a Mac Pro with its 4 bays, but because there's no gain in speed I don't see the point -- nm - Guigue Oct 21, 14:14 9
- Yeah, I don't want to do that. I just don't want non system files on the system drive -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:15 8
  - Good idea. Makes it easier to start from scratch if the system fails. I now have 4 TB in my Mac Pro, 4 drives, 6 partitions -- nm - Guigue Oct 21, 14:17 7
    - Ditto. 6 partitions, jeez! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:18 6
      - I think I have System, Personal Stuff, Boot Camp, Work drive (for editing), Time Machine and a drive with all my videos (TV shows mostly) connected to - Guigue Oct 21, 14:21 5
        
        Wow. For time machine, will it save all three drives on to the external? -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:21 4
        
        It would for now, but I don't backup the Download Folder, the PC drive, the TV shows drive and other stuff I wouldn't mind losing - Guigue Oct 21, 14:25 3
        
        Ok. Was not sure if Time Machine backed up multi drives. THANKS! A lot! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:26
        
        Plus I have 2 x 500 GB external Archive drive for my projects (Video Editing takes a lot of room) -- nm - Guigue Oct 21, 14:26 1
        
        I'm just doing Graphic Design stuff right now. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:28
