Firewire 800 Speed using the OSX Software Raid Controller


i have owc mercury elite pro dual hard drive enclosure runs on firewire 800. hard drive enclosure holds 2 hard drives. questions this: if use osx set mirrored raid using 2 drives in enclosure, speed on firewire halve?

if there no raid , send 1gb file hard drive in enclosure sent @ speed x. if set osx 'software' mirrored raid using both enclosure drives won't osx raid need send 2 drives, i.e. twice , hence double data , hence half speed per second send data.

yes know owc enclosure can run hardware raid has no warning of failed drive trying see data transfer loss in speed be. if firewire 800 speed halved under software raid down usb 2.0 speeds not when drives 4tb each!!

p.s. know twit telling me 'speed can't halved'. yes know that. referring time transfer amount of data in practical osx 'dragging bunch of avis hard drive' scenario.

thanks.
