Hi, going to BKK next week to outfit our new AV studio with harddrive capacity, amongst other things, but getting totally confused on what to get. We have imacs, macbookpros, even pcs, etc, hanging off a local lan, some wired, some wireless, and i was thinking we need a networked fast secure harddrive solution. I started looking at firewire800 enclosures, but seems like the world is going esata-II, which requires PCI cards (uh oh, imacs), and whose enclosures don't appear to be networkable or chainable. So what the hay! Ideally we would have drives on the network we could read/write/edit video and audio and send all our backups to. But external enclosures on each machine is ok too, so we can take advantage of Timemachine and perhaps not have to worry about wireless slowdowns. But heck, I'm confused on what to do. Any suggestions? thanks!!!
