I know it would be too much to ask for if I wanted someone with the identical setup to me, but if anyone could give me some of the answers I can get my new nMP setup just right.
I have the nMP with the 1TB storage. I also got a Sonnet TB2 Echo Express III-D, and have it fitted with an Accelsior 1TB card, as well as a Sonnet Tempo Pro with 2x512GB SSDs. In addition I have a LaCie 500GB external SSD.
The final result should hopefully be;
OSX on the internal 1TB storage. Extra storage on the Accelsior and the Tempo. The Tempo Pro should be setup in Raid0. And, I'd like Windows 8.1 on the external LaCie.
1) I setup OSX on the nMP,
2) Connect the Echo Express with both cards already installed,
3) Format the Accelsior,
4) Setup the 2 SSDs on the Tempo in Raid0 and format,
5) Use BootCamp to setup Windows 8.1 on the Lacie,
6) Install, install, install.
a) Will this work, i.e. will I need anything in addition for the Accelsior and the Tempo to work in the Echo box?
b) Will the Lacie work for the BootCamp installation via TB2?
c) I do need Windows 8.1 in 64-bit, right?
d) Do I need Windows 8.1 on DVD, or will it work using the ISO file I already have?
e) Any unforeseen challenges I might face?
Thanks for any feedback. I'll have all the parts sometime next week, and I'd like to just focus on getting applications up and running as supposed to struggling with getting the box(es) up and running...
