I have a client that is using the Snap Server on a network with 4 Mac
workstations. They are a graphic house and actually spend a lot of time
working with the files on the server over the network and seem to be happy
with it. About the only real problems we have is if there is a network
"dropoff" and they have to reconnect to the server, but that happens on
Ethernet in any situation. I don't know how much of a gain network wise you
would get, but they have HUGE HD capacity.
