  Setting up an edit network

  Posted by Joseph Wilkins on July 8, 2011 at 1:20 am

  So I run a small post house… working with FCP.

  I have three workstations and up until now have kept projects organized on hot-swappable firewire drives.

  But now I need a solution that is shared over the network… preferably a wireless network, but possibly not.

  Keeping in mind price is an issue, what lower cost solutions are you guys using?

  I have thought of running a mac tower I have as a shared computer with all the drives on, then having all other computers networked to it… is that going to be fast enough over an airport extreme network?

  Thanks

  Joseph,

  I will point you to two forums here on the cow where your question is best answered:

  First, check out “SAN- Storage Area Networks”, and then try “Arrays & Raid SetUP”.

  Be warned that Bob Zelin prowls those forums and you just might get a taste of his “shotgun”.

  Quick answer to your question: No, you can’t do that! It’s gonna cost you some money to achieve
  a workable solution. The good news is that the cost is going down.

  Good luck.

  Mark
