Thanks much Bob. There is a definite adjustment being made in budget on
this. Throwing money at a system that will "almost" work would be a very
bad thing. I've been researching 10g ethernet, prices (for used cards, as
well as a couple new) are coming down which is nice, but costs are still
For 4k post production, or even capture I would say that even a gigabit network
may not suffice. Typically you would use a fiber channel, or as I said a high
speed interface like SCSI or Thunderbolt. Unfortunately, an reliable and
economical 4k capture and post production workflow is a
Thanks Bob. Yeah I've already been stressing the need for a backup
strategy. Possibly a combination of a freenas with zfs1 (3 drives, I
already have most of the parts to make it work) and nextcloud as part of

Sorry for the off topic question, but this is my most trusted place for
tech knowledge. Appreciate any tips and advice (for a friend).
My friend is looking to buy or build a pc to do 4k video editing. I know
