Hi Pat,

While technically possible (Celerity card it's now qualified - 7.6/QFE3), I think there are 2 limitations in this scenario :
- only 1 guaranteed stream when working HD 10bit uncompressed
- a hefty price tag at around 7000USD
I did not try it myself, though.

Cheers,
Bogdan

Re the idea of relocating the DS suite to resolve hot drives.
I've been looking at an option to move just the drives and use a U320 to Fibre bridge to convert to Fibre and then run to the xw8200.
this would mean having a fibre board in the DS instead of the native SCSI but presumably this is the same as DS on Unity?
One of the bridges I'm looking at is: http://www.attotech.com/fbridge2400c.html
which can sustain 440MBper sec.
Thoughts?
