    I need some more media storage for my Final Cut system.
    I’m working primarily with HD720p 24fps video . . . . (I sometimes use other formats)

    Has anyone used a Sonnet external drive system??
    If so, what were your experiences?
    I’m considering the Sonnet Fusion D500P 5 Bay SATA Drive Enclosure.

    Does anyone recomend the Sonnet eSATA card??
    I’ll also need to put an eSATA card in my CPU for these drives, and I’ve heard that Sonnet makes a good one. . . .
    Has anyone used a Sonnet eSATA card . . . what were your experiences??
    Does anyone suggest another eSATA card??
    What about the idea of two eSATA cards in my CPU for faster speed??

    I have only tested the Sonnet Fusion arrays and they performed very well. The primary reason I went with Maxx Digital over those at the time was because there was a pretty significant price savings going with Maxx.

    But Sonnet makes good products as does Maxx and Dulce. You can’t go wrong with any of the three.
