Re: [Avid-L2] Editstor Anyone?

 



I'm also from this world...
But, since the OP told us it was a 100 buck piece, i would think one would raise hell over replacement cost of an entire unit if it's clear how much the repair costs are.
 
But then again, i also think that the gouvernement puts something in the water that makes us believe in conspiracy theories.

because sometimes the controller is not available commercially, or if it is, it doesn't have the proprietary FW employed in the chassis.

I wonder why someone would not put in a new controller himself...

we ran archion chassis on our unity but had terrrible problems with their QA and customer service.  in 3yrs we had 3 raid controllers in the unit fail.  they simply didnt back their product and in each instance would not replace the faulty controller without holding us hostage for a wire transfer amounting to the full price of the chassis, not the cheepo 100$ controller they were putting in them...

in the end we ate the cost of the dead unit, chalked it up to a lesson in cust service and gave the chassis to avid so they could determine if their method of 'working with unity' infringed on any patents...

i would not recommend them.

I have to say we had an Archion expansion on our unity 5 and it worked flawlessly.  I'd definitely recommend them as a company

Anybody using Editstor with 12 or more Avid workstations on fibre or ethernet?  Sounds to be very Avid compatible with better throughput than Isis at a much lower cost.  It's part of the Archion family headquartered in Burbank, CA.   I haven't been anywhere running Editstor but I've seen plenty of Archion add on to unity expansion chassis.  I have heard mixed reviews on the expansion chassis with older unities.  I did have a gig where copying large files on the desktop level would error out when the Archion add on chassis was involved.  That was a small production company on a fairly old Avid setup with unity so it might not be representative of the Archion expansion chassis.
