Anyone using a fibrechannel SAN??
Hi guys –
I guess I started too specifically so let me back up – is there anyone out there using a fibrechannel SAN with premiere? If so, which one and what RAID level?? I’d love your feedback as we have been having problems getting our SAN configured to work well with Premiere at anything other than RAID 0. Thanks for your help.

Hi Marisu,
I think you have a bad raid controller or disks. What kind Raid box do you have? Poor write speed is common for poor RAID5 implementaion, your raid controller has to be fast.
What are you write performance benchmarks? We use a utility by ATTO. It is free, you may have to register to get it.https://www.atto.org/software/index.html
Let me know what you get.
Good Luck,

It’s Nstor hardware with Sanbolics software – we don’t have anything working at the moment(therefore no write or read performance benchmarks yet) – they’ve taken my computer back to Boston to try and figure out where the glitch is . . . of course, (as I wasn’t involved in the decision making process) I’ve never heard of either sanbolics or nstor being used in a video SAN, I guess I was just fishing for a hopeful – yes it should work, someday . . . all I REALLY want to do is actually get back to cutting things and stop mucking around in configuration/installation/meetings hell!!
Thanks for the link – I’ll check it out. Take care.

Just for reference, We sell a 2.5 Terabyte Raid Box (2TB available) Ultra 160 SCSI box.
ATTO gives us about 120MBs Write and about 90MBs Read rates.
(not to advertise – but $4500) :-).Good Luck, Keep us updated,
Steve
