Having taken on two jobs simultaneously, because I am not smart, I am now
kicking myself for not having both workstations set up with a speedy NAS,
and synced plugins & scripts between the two machines so I could do either
network renders or render each project separately. Of course deadlines I
was expecting would be weeks apart are more like hours. Looking for a pc
based (but mac compatible if possible) raid solution. Additional usb 3
support would be helpful too. For my setup i have two pc workstations and a
mac mini all going into a small 5 switch 100/1000 ethernet hub. My laptop
sometimes joins the network as well. One thing i considered was an
additional mac mini and a thunderbolt drive as dedicated file server, but
if bootcamp is installed on the mini will the pc side recognize the
thunderbolt ports? Also that seems a lot more expensive than a stand alone
solution, but it would double my mac rendering capabilities as well, and
would be good for universal backups.
