Connecting the SCSI Local Storage Systems
29
When using one Avid MediaDock Ultra320 enclosure, configure the MediaDock Ultra320 to
dual-bus mode and create a two-way stripe across both SCSI bus channels using 12 SCSI
drives (6 on each bus). If you have less than 12 SCSI drives, divide the number of drives you
have evenly between the two busses.

You can move striped drives on Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems from one Avid
editing system to another by using the Disk Management tool. For information on moving
striped drives, see your Windows documentation, or Disk Management Help.
