Sorry Daniel — no extra busses on the Mac. It’s the tradeoff you get for such a sleek chassis.

October 20, 2009 at 8:25 pmGenerally speaking, the iMac doesn’t add any issues. The limitations will be the same as with any other system. There are small ones, like processing speed for formats like HDV and H.264 – but the big question will always be drive speed. If your drives themselves can spin fast enough, your iMac should be fine.
