Dr. J: always the right questions... this unit, @Boss' place (archives), small ones for us teammates with with relevant projects synced and a portable version of that one. This is especially interesting for the synched rendering workflows with perforce and such if i'm not mistaking...
I’m not in an environment that would utilise this but it looks like a great solution for those that would need it. Compared to purchasing an 8 bay NAS loaded with SATA SSD’s this iodyne product is only a few dollars more and much, much faster, plus it has the high-speed multi-user solution built in with the multiple thunderbolt connections. I think it would be great if Iodyne made a variant of this product as a diskless NVMe RAID enclosure as that is also a gap in the market that no one is fulfilling.
Their 48 T storage unit is just shy of $20,000. A regular NAS doing the same is 1-2K before the hard drives, and maybe 5k with the best hard drives available.
I love the idea. I would like to see a mobile Version for Enthusiastic Film/Foto and editing, far more portable and low cost. You have to produce far more, because there a big enthusiastic market out there. Ramping up productions isnt easy. But when quality fits, you V2 will be gold. Name: "MOBILE DATA" Facts: ×4 NVMe SSD and 4x TB Ports, Not all PRO DATA functions. works with mobile batteries.
Bruh, 😂 there are IT people in the cinema industry also 100 Gbite is a thing and you can have 100 or 40Gbite to clients if needed. The only things y’all could really hit is compactness. This isn’t amazing at all and anyone who’s doing this seriously wouldn’t want a raid 6 set up that’s a joke with what gluster or zfs and the others offer. Catch as many chumps as you’d like but I won’t be one of them. First also
@@MaxHuisman Bro, zFS is free.. I'm not sure as to the price point but the value would more thank likely be bad. I will update after pricing information. RAIDZ1 and 2 are better than RAID6 anyway
@@MaxHuisman Also, you can get a mac mini with 10Gbite networking most mac desktops have it.... and I hope if you're doing serious work you have your machines wired and not wireless. man...
