Re: NAS Device setup

Thanks Matt.

I'll just share what we have installed. Four edit suites being served off a MacPro with 40 TB RAID 5 storage via ATTO NS14 card, which hooks into a layer 3 Erricsson Gig switch via a 10 Gig port with SFP connectors on the back. The RAIDs are connected via an ATTO R680 card thru SAS. The server is getting great read/writes to the RAIDs- 650-700 megabits per sec. Edit A, which is connected via 10 gig e is getting a 300 megabit read/write according to AJA System test. The other 3 suites are hooked up via gig e thru copper into the second ethernet port on the MacPros. They are in the 95-105 Megabit range on reads/writes.

We are working in a FCP/PP CS6 environment with 4 editors accessing the same footage. We are doing 1920 x1080 ProRes and ProRes LT with no issues. Been rock solid since we bought from MaxxDigital back in November.

Your mileage may vary. Buy from an integrator like Maxx or Small Tree which have the ins/outs figured out.
