  • storage solution for a 4:4:4 project

    Posted by Rick Kz on May 11, 2007 at 8:03 pm

    i am curious if anyone has a rock solid storage solution for a 8 core mac pro and a kona 3 for a 4:4:4 project
    is the 4Gb apple fibre card working for you? or do you find the atto celerity a more stable solution?
    have you found a drive solution that works best? huge? rorke?
    thanks very much in advance

    I have had much less problems with the atto card, but then the Apple card is 1/4 the price.

    I have had personal issues with both at times, I have had rock solid success only with fibre solutions. My personal choice at this time would be the GSpeed XL.

    I’m deciding between a Ciprico and Facilis Storage solution right now. Both can perform 4:4:4 and I’m pretty sure they both recommend ATTO as the card of choice.

    I’ve got the ATTO pci-e coupled via 4gb fibre to the Ciprico 4210, my speed disk test indicates it can easily handle 4:4:4

    when I was looking to buy an array last year I told my sales rep that 4:4:4 dual-link SDI capability was a must, he advised the above configuration (over a year ago)

    Which controller card do you use for your RAID?
