[Shu-cdromlan] Re: Experiences with Axis StorPoint?

[Martin Smith]

Don't know about StorPoint but have done just what you are talking about
with a DiscZerver and recently a Snap Server 4100. The Snap Server is what I
would recommend. You mention caching of frequently used CD's and this sounds
bad. Go with a total hard drive solution for best performance.
