I want to set up a RAID1 system using Mac OS, my MBP, and an external enclosure. How easy is it to separate the RAID drives when I'm done with them? If I hand a client the second drive of the RAID1 set, is it just a matter of him mounting it for use? or is there an additional step for him to...

I asked Matrox about using the MXO with the 2690 vs the 2490. Got this reply today: "It doesn't really matter whether the monitor in question is narrow or wide RGB, the MXO with it's calibration utility can be used to show the entire colour space on a DVI monitor. What I mean is that with...

Cool, Shadow669. I ordered a 2490 from newegg. Please let me know how your experiences are with it and the MXO. Thanks!

Toasty, I'm the guy who asked about HD Video. Thanks for your reply. Would you recommend the 2490 over the apple 23"?

Hey guys. I've read a lot of info in this thread about using the 2690 with print work, but what about HD video editing? I'm looking for a monitor that with give me accurate color for color correction through Apple Color (yes! Said "color" three times in that sentence! :eek:) Would this wide...
