My main editing production drive is dead and I need a new one. I'm looking at the OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro 800 RAID MIRROR FW800/400.

It's a RAID 1 for good redundancy and good read speed. My qestion is can you partition that kind of drive? In my old setup I have a single LaCie 300Gig drive partitioned in two : one 80G for a bootable back-up of my PB drive and the rest as scratch disks for FCP. I want to be able to do the same thing but get both partitions mirrored on the second drive of the array. So I end up actually having 2 back-up of my main PB drive and 1 of all my medias.

Any clues!?!

With a bit of research I answer my own post.
Well according to the this software I guest I can partition my RAID.

[www.softraid.com]

the last paragraph �SoftRAID 3 General Specifications� says :

�Allows you to create a mix of RAID volumes on the same disks.
Creates non-RAID volumes from single disks, or RAID 0 and RAID 1 volumes from 2 or more disks or parts of disks.�

It's come with the OWC Mercury Elite RAID

I was looking at that, it seams the controller can do hardware raid 0 but they use softraid for raid 1. aka software raid, I haven't checked on the protability of softraid array across machines/platforms but i'm fairly cetain it only works with Macs.
