    Video editing in the cloud?

    I've not yet found a good solution for this, even locally (over GbE) I find that RDP with RemoteFX has audio lag issues in Premiere Pro.

    Looking for 16 port HBAs - what are my options?

    16e + loop the cables back in via a spare PCIe slot in the chassis (which you'll have by the sounds of things as you're using a small board). potentially ugly but will save you a fortune over a 16i. If you want to make it prettier then you can get adapters which take up a single slot: e.g...

    Supermicro x9dbu-iF b7 memory error

    Hi Guys, just thought I'd try a "hail Mary" over here with a board I've recently acquired.
