I lose the separate network connection for both systems,but gain huge local storage on the main system that does most of the file creation, and get to shut down one system.

sure, the Mac arrives on Monday. I'm not sure when the drives will arrive, but should be sometime next week. The firewire one is supposed to be used for the Final Cut Pro scratch drive. Skogafoss is taking Final Cut Pro classes right now so she's going to be using the drive and bringing it to class.
It just is weird to think that among all the drives I have in the house, I probably have close to or just over a single terabyte (Tivos, laptops, computers, bare drives, etc.) and here in one single delivery I'll have 2 Tb.
