  Multiple Final Cuts on One Drive

  Posted by Ford Prefect on August 22, 2005 at 5:00 pm

  Does anyone know how to get Multiple Final Cut Pro Systems (3 systems all FCP4 running G5 dual 1.8s) To hook up to one large Firewire Drive. I can get all of them to see the drive in the Firewire bus but only one system mounts the drive at a time.

  Any help out there?

  A regular FireWire drive can only be mounted by one computer at at time. You might try to hook it up to one, then share that volume, and try to connect over the network, but you’re going to be limited by the ethernet connection between the computers. SAN (Storage Area Network) Drives offer multiple connections, but tend to be more expensive.
