David and magil57, WELCOME to the MacNN forums! The real problem you both ran into with the iPod is that you didn't install the iPod driver software before you plugged in the iPod…

Has anyone seen, or used, the Adobe Messenger bag? I realize it's really expensive, but I can't find any reviews on it and am interested in it. Any comments from powerbook users? T…

I've been looking at this online for a few months as well. I guess it just became available November 15, 2005. I would also appreciate any real world views or reviews. Quote: …

I'd want Adobe to pay me for lugging that around Seriously, they can pay for their own advertising.

The Apple USB Keyboard that came with my Power Mac was terrible. Some keys were missing, some keys were half-sized, and some keys were in the wrong place. It didn't take me long to…

Hi, I'm wondering which config will give me the fastest speeds. Two 400 gig, 16mb cache 7200RPM drives RAIDed or the 400 gig with a 72 or 36 gig 10krpm Raptor? I use this machin…

What matters more to you, seek time or throughput?

More to the point, what do you need RAID 0 for? It's reliablity is terrible. If you don't have a purpose for it, you shouldn't use it.

Do you need the storage more? Or do you need speed?

2009059: You got it. I think a 74GB Raptor and a 500GB Hitachi is a better solution for everything except video editing (where you'll want the space and the throughput). So my answ…

So reliability and space I would go for raptor and RAID for speed? I guess I should go raptor then. Thanks everybody.

The RAID will give you higher throughput and more space. The Raptor and another drive will give you marginally better reliability and lower latency (for files on the Raptor).
