Hi everyone,

I’m exploring how storage servers affect Houdini’s rendering speeds and would appreciate some insights on this topic. Specifically, I’m interested in understanding how different types of storage servers (https://www.lenovo.com/jp/ja/servers-storage) (e.g., NAS, SAN, SSDs) influence the speed and efficiency of Houdini’s rendering processes. I’m also looking for recommendations on particular storage configurations or setups that can optimize rendering times in Houdini.

Additionally, how does the speed of data transfer from the storage server impact Houdini’s rendering tasks, especially for large and complex scenes? What are the best practices for configuring storage servers to ensure they do not become a bottleneck in Houdini’s rendering pipeline?

I’m aiming to optimize my workflow and ensure that my storage setup supports efficient and fast rendering with Houdini. Any experiences, tips, or technical advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
