I need it for video editing, but i need it as a single big HD not two...does it duplicate the data and as a consequence half the storage it provides?

Hi there,

Im in need of a huge storage HD to do some hd video editing on apple prores...This hardrive looks like the best option but I need to be sure of something...although they are two hardrives, can they be used as one? Im not looking for duplicating data at all...I need that 2TB storage because apple proress by itself already takes a lot of space up, so the footage itself takes up to 1TB...So if this HD duplicates it thats it...I have no space left! So i want to make sure I can use it as one single HD...Then again, perhaps i should be looking to get the g-Drive instead? its only one hd based but im not sure if its as good for editing...any help truly appreciated :) thanks

How noisy is it? Is it louder than a regular G-Drive?

Can this be connected to my MACbook via a wireless router?

I would rather not have this connected directly to my MacBook. I have a wireless router by lynksys. I am looking to use this to house my many music, photos and videos and have my MacBook look their for those files rather then the local drive. Can this be done and how do you suggest I connect it?

Can this drive work in RAID 1 configuration? Spec says hardware is RAID 0; I would prefer to duplicate data, not just interlace a single copy of it.

Can this (dual drive) be set us as RAID 1 option (of 2 TB) for use in FCP - Or would I need two separate Drives?

Is there such a thing as an eSATA to Firewire adapter? Do you need to connect both Firewire ports at the same time, or only one to use this product?

Backup 3 x 1TB hard drives...

I have a MacPro with 3 separate internal 1TB hard drives. I need to setup a backup system so that all three drives are backed up. Do I do this by using a 1 x 3 TB drive, or by using a 3 x 1TB RAID?

In an ideal world it would be nice to have it all plugged in so that it just backs itself up automatically in the background, rather than me having to keep stopping and drag folders across to various drives etc.

Many thanks,

Nick
