Abstract
A shared storage system that is optimized for post-production workflows that use NLEs such as Final Cut Pro X, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere and Avid is disclosed. Further, shared storage systems comprising workstations and shared storage systems, such as NAS devices, are disclosed that optimize workstation settings based on a database of optimal configuration settings to provide optimal bandwidth, minimal latency and stable performance for digital content creation/editing workflows that use file exchange between the workstation and the shared storage system. Novel methods and systems for storage systems are disclosed that configure and expose share drives in novel ways to facilitate video editing, audio editing and compositing.
