We purchased the Final Share system from Maxx Digital years ago and so far so good!

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. |
