    If you are working with PrPro on a SAN, how/where are you setting up your scratch disks and project files? Initially I wanted to keep everything neat and tidy in one “Project” folder per project on the SAN but I kept losing render files and it’s driving me crazy.

    I talked to Adobe support and they recommended keeping my media and scratch disks setup on the SAN and my project files on a local drive, which I’m totally fine with. But I’m still losing my preview/render files when I close and re-open projects.

    The only way I’ve been able to get Premiere to work properly is by keeping everything local :-/

    What is the location of the Media Cache. What is your San volume identity? Do you have the San volume mapped out or are you running iSCSI?

    I haven’t tried changing the location of the media cache so it’s set to the default location on the local drive.

    I’m not sure what you mean by SAN volume identity…can you explain?

    I use iSCSI to connect to the SAN.

    This is the storage that I’m using: https://www.dynamicdrivepool.com – the company claims that it is compatible with Premiere but I cannot get it to work properly.

    Let me know if you need any more info….thanks for responding!

    San Volume Identity means Drive letter in Windows or Mounted volume name in OSX. What OS are you running? Move the Media cache files to the SAN volume if that is where the project media directory is.
