Re: XSan for 2 workstations without a switch

you mean "peer to peer" - no MAC acting as a server, no switch, no file sharing. Just plug into one box, and have two MAC's share it, doing nothing else, right ?

Aint' gonna happen. Our solution requires some sort of server (a bare bones MAC Pro wtih 8 Gig of RAM), a multi port ethernet card, a managed ethernet switch, and someone to set all the menus in the right place. This will do ProRes422HQ (and ProRes4444 - but just 2 streams of this max on one client).

If you say "look, I don't want to buy a MAC to just sit there and do nothing, I don't want to spend $2700 for a MAC server, I just want to buy the drive array, some cables, and go to work, sharing media" -then I am not aware of any solution for you.

This stuff aint' plug and play - not yet, anyway !
