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.From: "'Nigel Gourley' avid-l@outpostfacilities.co.uk [Avid-L2]" <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com>

Subject: [Avid-L2] Editstor Anyone?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.John Moore
