[Avid-L2] Re: 4-Bay -- 2.5" Drive Portable RAID

It is possible to edit using USB2, but it's not a robust experience -- and definitely won't cut-it for this project.

Absent any other options, it seems the 8TB CalDigit VR2 might be my best option: http://www.caldigit.com/VR2/

However, it's not exactly the bandwidth I was looking for.
