Supported Network Storage Equipment
Last update: John Hickson - 2008-09-17 08:42:05

The following are lists of hardware that are currently being used and supported in at least one of our Members production studios. This does not suggest by any means that other hardware and/or models are preferred and/or exist. These lists are to be used as a quick reference for additional installation/troubleshooting and/or known issues that may have already been resolved by Members of StudioSysAdmins and may already be found in a different location on our website. It also gives you the opporunity to ask our Members about such systems for planning and/or purchasing now or in the future.  These lists are by no means up-to-date or complete, as all our Members do not wish to share the information on their studio.
