I have two computers set up with RAID 0 for video capture. One running RAID
0 Hardware as a capture partition, with two Ultra 100 2 meg cache WD 72K 60
GB drives. And the second computer running a RAID 0 Software with a 72K
Ultra 133 Maxtor DiamondMax 40 GB and a Ultra 100 DiamondMax 30 GB.
These are both set up for video capture using regular drives .... and I
don't have this problem?
