good choices just make sure that if youre going to string them together they are the same speed as your configuration will be limited to the speed and size of the slowest drive. (im not sure but I think the ones you picked are)
and fot video editing you cant beat a Mac like I had mentioned in another thread I did video (as a hobby) even before photography and a couple of friends that do video freelancing and sell it to local channels use Macs, heres why.
an Apple Mac Pro costs about $2,500.US Dlls but its powered by 8 core processor wich are
-Two Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors
-Install up to four 750GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drives for up to 3TB of internal storage and stripe them together using Mac OS X RAID for fast access to all of your digital media files.
-Mac Pro provides two optical drive bays. One comes filled with a 16x SuperDrive with double-layer support. Adding an optional second SuperDrive makes it easy to author commercial-grade DVDs in record time
-Up to 16GB of fast 667MHz fully buffered memory provides ample memory bandwidth to compose using an unprecedented number of tracks.
-Built-in optical digital and analog stereo audio ports support both new and legacy hardware, and convenient FireWire and USB ports allow connection to virtually any audio, MIDI, and storage devices.
-Dual-display support in every Mac Pro graphics card provides added screen real estate — perfect for spreading out application windows, tool palettes, and timelines.
-Thanks to built-in support for the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display, you can edit, compare, rate, organize, and adjust images full screen in Photoshop. And because Mac Pro supports two displays, you can compare multiple images at once to find your selects faster.
-Whether you design for print or for the web, you can realize your ideas as fast as you can conjure them with Mac Pro and industry-standard tools such as Photoshop and QuarkXPress. Both QuarkXPress 7 and Adobe’s new Creative Suite 3 are Universal applications, delivering 100 percent native performance on the Intel-based Mac Pro. And, with Rosetta improvements in Mac OS X v10.4.8, Photoshop CS3 performance on today’s Mac Pro has taken a leap ahead.
and remember you can run windows on these now !!
If youre really serious about video and audio editing this is the way to go.
OHHH Santa Clause I've been good this year...
