Hey Bob! You seem to be the expert on here! Have a quick question about setting up our editing studio! We’re both video editing and design on both workstations and we do a lot with shared resources (primarily for the design side of the business…video editing tends to be more self contained).

We currently have 1 Mac Pro, 1 Mac Mini and an Older Mac Pro (not the new one) and a 20 TB Pegasus Drive. We’re replacing the old Mac Pro with a new one and picking up a new 20 TB Pegasus.

So we’ll have two Mac Pros, Two 20 TB Raids and a Mac Mini.

So from what I can gather from the threads, the best networking scenario would be to attach a Pegasus drive to each of the Mac Pro’s via thunderbolt and then connect each of the Mac Pros to each other via ethernet network…

What would have been ideal would have been to stack the raids onto the Mac Mini and connect the Mac Pros to the Mini through thunderbolt…but that seems to be problematic.

Any suggestions. Is there another piece of hardware that we need to effectively use the Raid Systems as one central server and have each of the Mac Pros draw off of that shared storage?
