RAID Question

Alright all you RAID freaks, answer me these:

1/ Forget IDE and use SCSI only?

2/ We have 2 (soon to be four) FCP workstations - what do we need to set up a shared RAID video capture array? :eek:

3/ On older Macs (pre-G3) in which we can fit multiple drives (say, 2) is it worth it (or just really cool) to set up an internal SCSI array? Much of a performance boost (since we're just not going to shell out for G3 or G4 upgrades).

MacSpectrum,

I'm looking for a little more of the nitty-gritty here... as in, fine, we set up a server for storage.. how do we connect? WIll mounting a drive via Ethernet (100bt or 1000bt?) provide sufficient throughput for video capture and playback, particularly if multiple workstations are making use of the array?

It would seem to me that only a fast SCSI connection would be sufficient - but how do you share a SCSI external RAID across four workstations?
