[Ron] "I'm thinking of the fibre route as well (way down the line). I'm looking at the whole XRaid setup, but it looks like I'd save more money doing a Medea setup. Will this work with a Apple fibre card? "
Yep, Medea recommends the Apple Fibre card as one of the options and right now it's the lowest cost option out there. It's most likely the one I will go with.
The PipePro is just rock solid. The best, most stable editing system I've cut with. I'm actually opting for the PipeStudio myself so I can get the analog inputs back in.
