In the mean time, Nate Coopers former employer, Studio Network Solutions makes the SNS Prodigy, that will allow you to connect 4 users and accomplish what you are trying to do for $4700.
If you actually expect to have 4 people working at real resolutions, and especially with multiclip or multicam, I don’t care what system you buy or build yourself. If you don’t have 8 drive spindles running in a single RAID configuration, you will get crap performance.

Nat – you have been asking questions like this for years now.
Have you bought anything yet ? You should buy the equipment list
that you have just specified and see what happens. Yes, you get better performance with the trashcan.Bob Zelin

why would you buy 1TB drives when you can buy 3TB, 4TB and 6TB drives today for so cheap ?
The XS708E only has Windows PC management, so you can’t use your Mac’s to do the setup on the switch.
Whoever told you that Jumbo frames are a no no is an idiot, and should be shot dead, hung, and fired (not in that order).
20Gb/sec is the thruput of Thunderbolt 2. You have a 6Gb system – this means that your drives and your backplane are 6G. Your thunderbolt thruput is 20Gb/sec. This will result in a theortical bandwidth of 1375MB/sec, but in real life, you will get about 900 MB/sec after you create the RAID group.

You have an NTSC TV set that cannot display the hi resolutions of modern computers. Splurge and go out and get a computer monitor for $120 bucks, and you will be ok.
If you want to see VIDEO playback on this TV monitor, you need a converter box from a company like AJA or Blackmagic that will allow you to display on your old TV monitor.

and exactly how are you blaming the Blackmagic equipment for your lack of knowledge on this subject ?.
The Sony 5800 (you don’t even explain that this is the VO-5800 which is a U-Matic 3/4″ VTR from the 1970’s) is a heterodyne VTR with no time base corrector. Unless you send this into a frame synchronizer, you will NEVER get this into ANY modern digital SDI product. What is wrong with you ? Before blaming Blackmagic, didn’t you try putting this directly into the AVID Nitris DX, and didn’t you see that this did NOT work ?Without a Time Base Corrector or Frame Synchronizer, this is NEVER EVER going to work, and not only will this not be able to be processed by Blackmagic hardware, but any other hardware in the world, except for stuff made in the 70’s or 80;s (which is a LONG TIME AGO).
BUT A FRAME SYNC and your problems will be gone.

Hi Rick –
I guess that is why you are speaking with me. I can tell you all about the Thecus, and what you should and should not do (as well as QNAP and Synology).Bob Zelin

drives sitting on the shelf, never getting used for years, may fail as well. If you lose only 1TB of info, you won’t be as upset as if you lose 4TB of info.
Sometimes, drives just don’t spin up after a while. If you have a drive that is working after 5 or 6 years, you are very lucky.

with 10GbE, today you get crazy speeds. With boxes like the SanLink2 (if they are setup correctly), you can get 900 MB/sec to a cylinder Mac Pro.
ps – you will have a better chance of setting it up, than your IT department. You are more open minded, and are willing to listen to instructions. The IT guys that “know everything” always fail.
