Re: [Avid-L2] Editstor Anyone?

 

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.
