Thanks, my current solution is similar to that - storage drives in a PC server originally bought for that purpose and accessed through ethernet. (Interestingly, I have a hell of a time getting 2 Macs to network, but Macs network fine from PCs.) This was not as fast as I would like though and I usually had to copy files locally for editing. I migrated most of my video and photo work to the PC just because the speed was much faster having the drives local. It seems strange to me that I have to have two computers to do basic things. I greatly prefer the Unix on the Apple, but it's getting to where I might just switch back to the PC since the Mac has become an impediment to my workflow. This after using Macs since the 1980s for work at home. It makes no sense. Why shouldn't all Macs have easy access to reasonable amounts of storage. They should. Not having a reasonable solution here is really boneheaded of Apple.
