I was hoping to get some clarity by reading this entire thread, I am happy to say that I’m more confused then ever. I am in the process of setting up my FCP system to handle DVCPro HD. I have posted before asking a similar question as to what storage solutions would be optimum for a steady workflow. Walter Biscardi, in my initial post had some great things to say regarding the Caldigits system, I researched them and they do seem to be making a strong case with their units and their Mac compatibility. In turn I went to my FCP system reseller and they didn’t have great things to say about Caldigits. I’m not sure if that’s because they dont sell their systems, or what. They recommend that I use the G-speed as a better and safer alternate. I’m going all tapeless acquistion on my shows, I need the space, the speed and the backup protection. I am trying to be cost effective but I do have an adequete budget to dedicate towards a storage solution, $7-12K. Just when I decide on a system, I read a seperate thread on CC that discourages me about that system and it causes me to go back to square one, in search of the perfect storage solution. Can someone please shine a light of clarity as to what system is optimum with FCP to be able to handle P2 DVCPROHD. By the way I’m a Producer and i’m not as technologically literate as some of you, I’m am eager to learn, but if we can keep it simple in lamemens terms I would greatly appreciate it.

We are starting with one system with the hopes of expanding once we sell more shows. Right now I have a 20 episode order with a fairly relaxed delivery schedule. As far as my budget for storage solutions; between 5K-10K.

Walter Thank you for the reply, I have been on the Promax site many times and they are in contention of receiving my business. I have not heard of the CalDigit systems. In your opinion, do you feel that it may be a better option as compared to X-serve, Medea or Ciprico?
