Yeah, but then the primary host inherits the uptime requirements of a NAS and this gets really awkward when you have workflows in different operating systems that both want to use the fast storage. Both OSes can access thunderbolt, of course, but only one can be a good server. Now that I've experienced the separation of concerns that comes from an independent NAS I do not want to go back.
- jeffbee 4y agoWhich host have you nominated as "primary" in this scenario? I'm only thinking of the TB4 link as a relatively cheap and simple point-to-point networking link. I think it's a lot more practical, and cheaper, that 25gbps ethernet. A dual-port 25gb ethernet NIC costs hundreds of dollars, while you can find all kinds of cheap computers with 2 TB4 ports.
