Hello
I’m also setting up a small studio with a MacPro and two iMacs. We use Premiere and AE. I like the idea of using local Pegasus RAID drives connected via Thunderbolt. It allows me to grow gradually without a big one-off investment, and more importantly it’s a proven simple workflow.
I’m envisaging a workflow where each suite’s job folder (media and work files), stored on the local Pegasus RAID, is synchronised via a gigabit ethernet to a NAS, such as the QNAP TS-853 Pro.
Once the NAS has pushed the media files to all edit suites, the project files can be shared as long as you re-link the footage to your local Pegasus RAID.
Slow and manual, but stabile and cheap. I guess it comes down to the usability and stability of the server’s ability to synchronise.
Has anyone had any experience with QNAP’s Qsync, or done something similar with OSX Server? A penny for your thoughts.
Kind regards,
Arvid
