Re: Facilis Terrablock San System Feedback good?

All very good points, guys...

But you know as well as I, tested products are much much better than something that is not. When you're talking about data and digital video, reliability has to be the most important factor here.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the Larid solution at all. It sounds like an awesome idea and they could kill that market IF the price was about half of the current asking list price.

We are all about saving money where we can BUT we do work in a field where reliability has to be the most important factor in any equipment purchase - nothing more horrifying than loosing your data when a client is in house or loosing years of work because we cut cost.

All things to consider... The Facilis TerraBlock isn't cheap, but just price the others out there that are proven.

We work very much like Donato does. It works very well. You can work in segments on different volumes and put it all together at the end or do like we do. We produce weekly 30 minutes shows for a couple of cable networks. So, we have one editor log the footage on a volume, unmount it and pass it to the one editing the show, unmount that and pas it to another for sweetening and out to XDCAM HD disc for mastering. Its a proven workflow that works very well for us. And the TerraBlock allows us to work very efficiently.
