Re: I know just enough to be completely lost

Jacob, I just want to give you an impartial (non sales) perspective from someone also in the non-profit sector:

1. Think of the future. Are you going to be on 2 stations for quite a while? Great. Are you going to grow fast? Think it through...

2. Assuming just 2 for the near future (1-2 years), these guys are offering good options. Set up a direct connection via ethernet (you're on mac pros, right?), and if necessary you could get 10Gb cards from Small Tree. Set up some good storage (SAS or something) and share it. You're done, and for quite a reasonable price.

3. How much storage? This is a big one... If your storage is going to grow fast, start thinking about your archive now, otherwise you'll end up losing data somewhere along the line. Disks on the shelf are *not* a stable archive.
