Can I use a Promise FastTrak RAID controller with Buz?

Certainly! In fact, I find it to be an excellent and affordable way to get high data rates for video. It combines two or more UltraIDE hard disks into a large striped RAID configuration. The FastTrak RAID drive appears just like any other hard disk, and Video applications will treat it the same. There are no known conflicts with Buz, although you must be certain to configure it for “A/V Applications”. Also, I have been able to improve the data rates by adjusting the “PCI Buz Utilization” with the latest device drivers and “UltraTune” utility from Promise. Play with it, and see what settings work best on your system. You can find out more about the Promise FastTrak from their web page.
