Yea, we constantly have to email support to deactivate our license because of this stupidity. Avid Link is horrible. If Avid expects people to get off dongles, then Avid Link would need to be significantly improved. Including administration.

If you are talking about the Avid Nexis chassis with drives - no. If you involve the Nexis chassis and controller, your only access to the drive is through the Nexis server software and Nexis Client Manager app. You would need to move the 10 drives to a different RAID chassis in order to access as a direct attach storage.

The Nexis (Pro, E2 & E4s) "RAID" is done through the controller, which is a self contained Linux based computer appliance. The drives can be removed and used for other purposes. However, the controller has only one purpose.

Not really. Most feature films are edited with a small unit. Typically 1, sometimes 2 senior editors. 1 Junior editor. 1 senior assistant editor. And 1 or 2 assistant editors.
