Ahh, okay..so it seems if we want to stick with hard drives directly connected to the computers that we will need to buy a new hard drive array. It would be nice if there was a simple device that we could connect to our current drives just to makes things easier/simpler. It’s just not in our current budget to create a SAN right now. Looks like we may need to keep our current setup of multiple different drives daisy-chained and such. It seems like the only practical solution for us right now is to put the drives in a central easy-to-access location to make switching between them easier. We have dedicated backup drives so if a work drive fails we will be safe. Thanks for your help guys. If anyone else has a clever solution for us it would be greatly appreciated.

is there any sort of device that I can plug all my drives into, and then each of our two computers directly connect to that device and can access the drives? I’m thinking a direct-attached setup is going to work best for us…this is a very small studio. Creating a SAN is going a bit overboard for our application. Our two computers are literally 4 feet apart from eachother and the drives are all within a couple feel as well.

Thank you for your response. I read the article by Walter it was very interesting. It has opened my eyes to other options, but his solution seems a bit overkill for our small studio. We were looking for a solution more in the 100’s of dollars rather than $10,000+. I’m going to do a bit more searching on the cow for shared storage and see if there is a more cost effective/practical solution out there. Thanks again.
