I had two of my V12 Meridien Avids hooked up to a hired Editshare for a big, four-month job recently.  They did a great job, and it left me considering buying an Editshare.  I didn't.

Well, I've just bought a Drobopro for another bit of work, and thought i'd try hooking it up to the MC over iscsi, just to see what happened. 

With it not being a Gigabit network card on the PC (which I understand is a prerequisite for iscsi), I didn't expect much, and it turns out 2:1, 3:1 and even 4:1s didn't really work.  15:1 worked like a charm though.

Just thought this information might be of use to someone.  It'll let me squeeze some more life out of the Meridien.
