![]() ![]() If sharing files is more important than performance, the most cost-effective option is to connect one or more servers to a data switch via 10G Ethernet, then have individual editors connect to that switch via 1 Gb Ethernet. Replace the HDDs with SSDs and direct-connect speeds blow any Ethernet-connected device out of the water. Even a 4-drive RAID filled with spinning hard disk drives easily exceeds the overall speed of a 10G connection to a server when comparing both read and write speeds. If high performance is your goal, the best option is to direct-connect an SSD RAID to your computer. As well, the least expensive storage you can have, on a per user basis, is also that which is directly connected. The absolute fastest and most consistently-performing storage you can have is that which is directly connected to your computer. NOTE: All this gear was purchased by me, in case you were interested. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned. I’ve wanted to have the gear necessary to write this article for more than a year.
