you definitely can. i have the Promise SANLink and ATTO 10GbE Thunderlink and they both daisy chain to ethernet adapters just fine

yes. the Thunderbolt Ethernet shows up as another available network connection in System Preferences in the same way 2 ethernet networks show up on Mac Pros.
the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapters can also go on the end of daisy-chains. I connected the Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter to the back of a G-RAID just to see and it worked fine.

Yup, that’s Reduser

are your nVidia drivers up to date? with these cards, Resolve should be flying. are they correctly configured in Resolve? I assume that you’re using the paid and not LITE version of Resolve to use multiple GPU cards

that’s your problem. you’re trying to read and simultaneously write about 150MB/s to a single hard drive. you need a decent sized RAID if you want both source files and renders on the same volume.
even just changing your source and target to 2 different single drives will speed it up quite a bit. but you want a RAID if you want to maximize your other hardware.

what’s your storage? sounds like a drive speed bottleneck.

thanks for the update Doug. i’m sticking with 2.7.1 and 9.1.4 Lite until someone has success. I actually just got the full version of 9, but I’m not upgrading until the compatibility with the Artist Color is figured out.

John, are you using the built-in controls or an external box such as the Lumagen?

I think you need to do some more research because you’re spending a lot of money on things that don’t matter.
According to the KataData app on my iPhone, the BMCC 2.5k raw at 23.98 is 120MB/s. Epic at 5k 2:1 at 5:1 compression is 80MB/s (which actually seems higher than I thought. I’ll double check this with some Epic footage tomorrow). These are more than doable with slower drives.
A Red Rocket accelerates de-bayering. It doesn’t have anything to do with drive speed. If you’re working in Premiere on a laptop such as the Retina MacBook Pro 15″ with a resolution of 1/8 or 1/16, you don’t need a Red Rocket to edit. If you’re editing on a modern tower with 8 or more cores, a Rocket doesn’t help much when you’re editing (typically). It helps a lot when you’re transcoding, grading or outputting a 4k image to a monitor.
Future-proofing in this industry is almost a fool’s errand. Especially with storage. Buy what you need for your project now and look out maybe a year into the future. Anything further than that is just a guess.
As far as the 4k BMCC, i wouldn’t bet on that until you have it in your hands. By then you’re post setup will probably have changed a few times.
in my experience, if you’re planning on shooting a feature, more space is much more important than more speed. Especially if you’re shooting raw formats. My last feature clocked in at 250TB. That’s a lot of J4’s

once i have properly set up a drive, if it gives me issues even once and it’s still under warranty, i send it off for replacement. i don’t have time to mess around and my data’s too important. i use Hitachi because they have a no questions asked replacement policy, but i bet other companies do too.
