With 6GBs and superspeed USB 3.0 coming out, what data storage do you use? Do you use servers, NAS or SANs? Which Brands/Models? What future technology is really interesting to you? And are you considering using?

Not sure what your question is or what the point to your post is...??
Is this some kind of poll or are you a student writing a report or are you some marketer looking for info
Data storage?
eSATA, USB, FW
No servers, no NAS, no SAN
Future technology? I'm still waiting for something exciting!
6Gb of RAM and USB isn't new, it just makes your new 64bit bloated OS run a little smoother..in fact 6Gb is like having 1Gb before...you really need 16-24Gb to make it actually any faster...
We'll have to wait and see what the future brings?
unless you know about some future technology??....
but then that wouldn't be future technology would it?
dj, He's not referring to 6Gb of RAM... he's referring to 6Gb/s
dj,
He's not referring to 6Gb of RAM... he's referring to 6Gb/s data rates for SSD controllers... [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.bit-tech…"]bit-tech.net | SATA 6Gb/s SSD shows speed gains[/]="http://www.bit-tech…"]bit-tech.net | SATA 6Gb/s SSD shows speed gains[/]
Personally, I use tried and true DAS and SAN technology based on standard SCSI/Gbic technology. Infrastructure investment for a commercial operation cannot be based on something you WANT to happen. You are an idiot and a seriously poor business manager if you invest in these immature technologies. SATA NAS and SAN devices are now reasonably mature with known MTBF numbers, and their cost/Tb is fairly respectable for the performance.
SSD's are not there yet for cost/reliability for a heavy lifting environment investment.
USB 3.0 is questionable in release value as a media format for anything but prosumer gear, for at least for 24 to 36 months... if not longer.
As we're on the front porch of 128Bit OS technology, the whole shootin' match is about to get set on it's ear.
When you have half the OS dedicated to data throughput, you are now waiting on hardware devices to catch up to the CPU/OS by a huge factor, that neither Firewire nor USB can come anywhere close to achieving. IF my information is correct, SSD's are even too slow by a factor of x12.
So, I wouldn't be looking at heavily investing, on a professional level, on the latest and greatest bleeding edge just yet.
I always look at new technology. I am definitely interested in
I always look at new technology. I am definitely interested in USB3 and 1394c but the big hurdle is going to be waiting for peripheral manufacturers to begin producing enclosures and interfaces to utilize the "new" protocols. Traditionally I will test new technologies out at home in controlled environments for many many months before I test things out in a live situation-and then usually on my own performances first just in case. Of course with redundant backup to an Alesis HD24XR there isn't too much danger of losing the recording.
Long story short, I investigate the bleeding edge but never use it for pay gigs until all the bugs are 100% worked out.
