Gotta add a couple words of caution of course:
- project and media organization will be of even more importance than performance (put everything into project-specific and/or shot-location-date-specific folders, don't allow editors to move the media around, make sure they save intermediate and clearly marked versions of the project files, etc.)
- they key phrase was that it *may* work - none of these plain vanilla servers guarantee sustained bandwidth in any way, and their performance depends on the OS and its configuration (tuning) - sometimes more than on the hardware. Strangely, WHS (Windows Home Server) is know and churning out good numbers, followed by Linux, followed by Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.
