I meant not conveniently accessed as in they are not sorted out in the same way as in lightroom. Most of my disks are all in the same room. You do bring up a good point that I should move one of the systems elsewhere. > > > I am going to need to explore thunderbolt storage options. > > Unfortunately they are not nearly as inexpensive as usb 3 or > > firewire. > > If it's going to be a spinning disk I'd suggest USB3.

I just heard back from kingwin tech support and now have the double toaster working. Silly me, I didn't know that what I needed was the setting labeled JBOD in the manual. It turns out that JBOD is "Just a Bunch Of Disks". So, I know have a drop in mount for two SATA drives. I could put in a 4TB spinny for primary storage of raw files, and an SSD for my catalog (to guarantee my catalog is always on SSD). Looking at this, there doesn't seem to be much disadvantage to using usb3 versus thunderbolt. http://www.everythingusb.com/comparison.html > > Cheers, > Dave > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
