    I am running a Fibrenetix Qubex device on a quad core Xenon mac. The Fibrenetix has 4 fibres connecting to the 4 channel fibre card on the mac. The reliability of the Fibrenetix is unstable for me and looking to change my storage. What way should I go?

    Many thanks

    shared storge enviornment, or direct attached storage ?

    What is your requirement ? For direct attached storage, there are countless products advertised right here on the banner ads. All are good companies. For shared storage enviorment, post on the SAN Networks forum

    Thanks Bob

    We are running FCP for video editing. Only use one mac, so not sharing looking for around 2TB of raid 1 (excuse my ignorance in this) I am looking for a device that has multiple drives that can be hot swapped. We use the fibre channel card on the mac for speed on the current fibrenetix box. Any advice welcome

    Current device is Fibrenetix Qubex which is now old and has 6 500 GB drives within and I end up with 2TB of storage.

    I would look into the Seagra Technology, Inc Fibre Channel RAID product. They are in the Storage Industry 20+ year. Direct Attach or Storage Area Network product you can use their product which is STSRFC4-X and STF400PE product.
