What experiences have you guys had with third party network storage?
I'm contemplating something like the Thecus N5200. Will something like that handle multiple streams of DNxHD over a gigabit connection to my Media Composer workstation?
Anyone else using one of those or something similar?
I can tell you that if it still even exists - STAY AWAY from any server system named "Trans Soft". I worked freelance in a facility that had this and we were down more often than we were up and running, due to TS problems.

Thanks Larry.
Is anyone else currently using a NAS for Avid media and can tell me how it works for them?
I think iSCSI is the key, Avid media doesn't play well over Windows SMB file shares.
It would not be a versatile as Unity or Lanshare as without special consideration it would be unable to support multiple concurrent access to the same media drives.
MetaSAN is a product I've been interested in, but have not been able to try - looks promising.

My opinions are my own.
Try EditShare, it works great for us (two MC stations).
