Hello! Your videos on youtube are by far the most thorough! I'm hoping you can help me!
I'm a single user of three different macs. I work in film and I render separate 3d blender files on each mac all day long. The catch, all of those blender models should be pulling from the same linked data in one central storage. I'm tired of having to physically connect hard drives and lose precious texture links to my 3d files! This is where I THINK a NAS comes in.
Since my computers will all be in the same room, I thought thunderbolt would be best, but I can't seem to find the right solution. I tested the Iodyne Pro Data and found that while speeds were great, the constant mounting and un-mounting of drives was a pain. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a QNAP with SSD's but am weary of the thunderbolt speed. More or less, I was hoping to simply access all of my storage, simultaneously, quickly, across all machines. Does this exist??!! I know you guys will know!
