Cauldronborn Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I've just built myself a nice Shuttle PC with the following specs SX48P2 Deluxe Q9300 Intel Proc Radeon HD4850 2x2Gb DDR3 1600 22x Dual layer DVD Burner with Lightscribe. I've currently got 3 harddrives of 250Gb each that I had sitting around. I have all 3 in a RAID5 setup. While this is not the best from a backup standpoint it does provide me with some redundancy and protection. I'd like to try my hand at turning it into a hackintosh (as far as I know no one has done it on this particular model). I would like to know if I'm better off splitting the hd's (one for each OS and maybe the last on for data?) or can I repartition what I have. If I can repartition can I keep the RAID (it is hardware RAID and should be pretty much transparent to the OS right?). If that is cool would I be able to keep NTFS on it for performance reasons? What would be the best way to go about all this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simphax Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 The best would be to have one operating system per harddrive.. You will get much more troubles with partitions. Trust me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cauldronborn Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Trouble wise yes but I would like to maintain the raid5 aspect if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_xero Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 HI I've looking at this model as well, Have you done the deed as yet? Would you mind posting your results installing osx on this system when you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stmiller Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 multi-booting on raid can be problematic. Edit: sorry I just noticed this thread is three months old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
