Hi Jacob,

It would be a thrill to have more talented people in Texas. I work at a post-house in Houston. Work is steady and I go on vacation out of the country every year (disclaimer: we have no children).

All of Texas’ big metro areas will be able to support someone like you. You just have to know how to network yourself into the right niches.

Houston is a great city for a family. It is the most diverse city in Texas and one of the most diverse cities in the US. Great schools, great neighborhoods and LOTS of real estate for your money. Check out https://www.har.com , you will be surprised.

Houston is a pretty big international hub, being the homebase for United Airlines you will always find a flight to wherever you want to go.

The weather is terrible. Can’t sugar-coat it at all. Humidity in Houston is what it is. Lots of Fortune 500 companies. Many of them you’ve never heard of. Yes, Oil Industry related video abounds, but there are other things. You will still soon get familiar with Oil industry terms.

The video-film community in Houston is filled with capable and talented people. You will not have a problem putting together a crew for a shoot.

If you decide to give it a thought I’d be glad to show you around.

I did have to download the ATTO driver for my H680, other than that BRU saw the drive right away.

It was easier than I thought. It just took me a while to realize I had to run an additional installer from Quantum for the LTFS software.

Data transfer is fast! I am impressed at how fast LTO-6 can move a Terabyte of data (about an hour).

Thanks Tim!

I am actually about to buy the license right now. After playing with it through the weekend and reading around I realized LTFS is not what I want for archiving.

Seems to be the right solution for me. I was able to grab a Quantum LTO-6 drive for $2300. Works like a charm with the Thunderbolt chassis and ATTO SAS H680 card. Blazing fast!

I guess the BRU UI could use a face-lift but it does the job and I didn’t have to spend much more than $3.5k for the whole setup. If only CatDV would spend some time integrating with it it would be even better.

Nevermind…. /facepalm

I had forgotten to drag the app that was missing into the Applications folder. I thought the LTFS installer did that but I was mistaken.

All clear now!

Thanks anyway.
