Default Raid
Does Protools 9 support RAID and if so which ones?

Thanks

There's no support for ANY RAID in ProTools

Why use RAID - SSD's have more than enough bandwidth to cover any audio you can throw at it.

PT doesn't support software controlled RAID, hardware RAID it doesn't mind.

yes, but:
a) cost
b) size
c) limited life

Neither FLASH/SSD or RAID of any kind (including hardware) is qualified with/supported by Avid (but I'd buy a SSD system drive on a new Mac in a heartbeat).

Hardware RAID: Pro Tools may very much care due to increased latency (controller overhead and especially head seeks becuase of how storage is mapped though the RAID system).

But what is the reason the original post asked this? Lots of I/O bandwidth (worried about high track count?). Lots of storage for online archiving/backups? Want resilience against hardware failure? How much storage? What computer platforms? Those requirements help guide where a cogent discussion might go.

I'm using a RAID 0 Array on Win7 PT9 with no problems, and have been for over 1 year now.
