[QUOTE="NateL, post: 641732, member: 41181"] In our office, we have about 10 people with Macs. They range from old iMacs to new iMacs, Mac Pros, and even some G4's. I'm trying to figure out a plan for a network and we have a Mac Mini that we're not really using. I'd like to install Leopard Server on the Mac Mini, and then attach something like [URL="http://www.drobo.com/"]Drobo[/URL] as a central storage unit. Everyone would access that drive and work with files from that drive. Is this an efficient? or should I plan a little more? Also, 3 of the stations (new iMac and two mac Pros) do a lot of graphics and video intense work. Right now, we have a 1TB drive connected to each Mac Pro. So if I'm on my computer and I need to work on a file on my co-workers computer, I have to connect to his computer, navigate to his external drive and then to the file. That's why i'm thinking the Central Storage device would work best. [/QUOTE]
