Thanks for the reply, media is stored on a Raid array with 400MB/s read/write speeds.

This doesn’t seem to matter to the Mackbook Air. I can simply connect the SSD from the Blackmagic with a basic USB 3.0 cable and it plays back just fine on the air.

I’ve been doing a lot of research on this topic, and a recurring statement I keep seeing is that Prores is limited to a 32 server extension, crippling playback on even the most high end PCs.
