-
- Of course. A Raid 0 array just looks like another hard drive only faster.
- There is nothing stopping the Amiga from using other types of Raid devices
- other than the typically large capacity exceeding the Amiga's 4GB drive
- limit.

-
- Broadcaster Elite.
-
- At the top quality setting, with a component video source ie Betacam, it
- will commonly hit frame sizes in the 200-300K size which means you need 6-
- 9MB/sec out of your SCSI bus (NTSC 30fps CCIR601 frame size). The Jaz
- drives can't keep up with this even when striped.
