    Hi Everybody,

    I am in the process of doing some research on new systems to replacing my teams current aging shared storage solution.

    After reading a lot of advice around here I am pursuing SNS, Small Tree, and Facilis as potential options.

    We are a medium sized team with 4-6 editors, 2 motion graphics/animatiors, and 2-3 producers working primarily on 1080P and 4K XAVC with some Red, Arri ProRes, and other mixed codecs thrown in. Currently based on recommendations from all companies we are looking at 32 TB of shared storage shared via 10 GbE and 1 GbE connections.

    My question is has anybody had bad experiences with either these systems or the suggested workflow? I have seen plenty of positive things about these companies and feel pretty confident in any of the systems, just looking to get actual user perspectives.

    Thanks!
    Mark

    Hi Mark –
    you have mentioned 3 excellent companies –
    Facilis, Studio Network Solutions, and Small Tree all have excellent solutions. Exactly what do you want to know ? What editing software are you using ?

    Hi Bob,

    Thanks for replying.

    We are working in Adobe Premiere CC 2014 and After Effects CC 2014 primarily.

    My questions are

    1) Out of the three products, is there one you would recommend above the others? Is there an option that I should be considering instead of these three?

    2) Has anybody had any negative experiences with these products. Overall I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback about all of these companies, so I just wanted to see if there were any known bugs or gotcha’s that people have experienced that I should be cautions of.

    I understand these are both subjective, but as you are the expert in these areas I value your input.

    Thanks!
