Just got in a couple 300 GB SATAs for our video editing station. Now, both current HD spots are already taken, so my question is: What would be the most efficient way to utilize these two HDs? We considered a dual-HD mounting bracket for the inside, but it costs like $100.00 for a little piece of aluminum you screw into the side of your Mac.

We also have a fibre channel card, which includes the external fibre port. Is there any way we can utilize the speed of this with two SATAs?

These HDs will be used for real time video editing, so we can't have it bottle-necking with some USB enclosure.

Thanks for the tips/info,
-Rob
