Moving Away from External Drives
Hi,
We’re looking for a system to move away from external hard drives. We’re about to work with at least 12 terrabytes of video on at least two workstations.We were initially told to purchase a Pegasus and use thunderbolt cables to our two 2011 iMacs. Now we’re being told to take our old Mac Tower (later 2008) and turn that into a server and use gigabyte ethernet to connect. Using that scenario, we were told we would have to work locally – so download the files daily to work on them (that would take a few hours).
Our budget is $2000-$3000. Is this totally unrealistic? Are we stuck with external drives?
Any suggestions? What other information would help you comment on this?
Thanks,
Lisa -

and exactly who is advising you to work this way ?
Do you want to spend hours downloading your files, just so you can edit, just so you can spend even more time uploading the changes ?Doesn’t this seem silly ?
And no, you can’t build a shared storage system for $3000.
