Re: Do I really need a SAN?
by Shane Sokolosky on Jun 30, 2008 at 6:53:54 am

Think of it this way....

SAN = All Computer have a direct and fast connection directly to the storage.

NAS = All Computers go though a server then to the storage.


SAN = Faster, NAS = less expensive solution that will share.


The real question is, how much speed do you need to each client, what kind of video are you editing?

We've setup an Apple X Serve NAS system that could had about 7 clients editing HDV from it over ethernent with FCP, it does have it's limitations though. The only way to tell is by how much bandwidth you need and will need in the future.

Cheers
