Tom,

I’m freaking out you are getting 1000mb/s from your RAID. The best I’ve seen is 500mb/s from a Promise R6 attached using Thunderbolt. I’m assuming you are on a PC using a PCI card and a 10GbE connection?

I desperately need some help and advice on a shared RAID solution for Video editing. I need an inexpensive way for two workstations to be able to access jobs (not at the same time of course) without copying everything from one workstation to the other. I was wondering if you know anything about using a shared RAID system using 10GbE. I’m looking for a really simple and inexpensive way to access a really fast RAID system and share it with another work station so that two people have access to the files.

Your like looks like the system you are using a 10GbE connection. I was looking at a server going from Thunderbolt to an external cabinet with a 10GbE connector which is then plugged directly into the RAID server so that I could put 2 workstations sharing one RAID.

These are usually really slow but with a 10GbE card and the machine connectly directly to the raid server its supposed to be super fast. I’m kind of leary of this as its an NAS…

Do you have any experience with a shared RAID system that has really fast speeds that doesn’t cost a fortune?
