    StoreNext is pretty much Xsan. This is a file level locking. In other words, everyone connects to the same drive. Avid doesn’t work ideally in this environment. If you could create a volume for each editor, then make the editor you are on read and write to your volume, but only read others then this will work.

    The Avid creates a folder called Avid MediaFiles at the root of the drive. This becomes an issue when two systems try to read and write to the same folder at the same time due to the way Avid tracks it’s media.
