We currently have 3 FCP suites running independently using Quad Interface external drives, and SATA II internal HDs. Our procedure is to digitize to the internals and back-up on the externals. When moving or sharing the project we move the External and copy the media. The drives are really fast and while it seems less efficient then shared storage, you always have back-up copies of your media as part of the process.
