Hello!

I am looking for a NAS that I can set up with my pc to allow greater storage and transfer speeds for editing.

I use a mix of 5k RED files and 8k x 8k h264/prores files for various projects.
I am not interested in multi user access, as this will only be me using the files.

Currently, I keep live projects on a 1TB nvme and transfer to USB external drives for long term storage, as the size of the footage and projects increase, this is fast becoming a hassle, especially when the footage/project exceeds 1tb.

I am looking for a budget conscious solution but am willing to spend the money where it is needed for transfer speeds.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

Kind regards,
Tom

Hi Rob,

I'm a fan of your work. I think you're doing a great job. You just cut through all the marketing speakers and deliver the facts. You seem to be in tune with the NAS industry so I have a question for you. I'm currently looking for an 8 Bay USB enclosure with Hardware Raid and USB C (10gbs or more). It's gonna connect to a Windows PC. I have done some searching about on the web but so far the information I get is quite confusing. Please give me some advice.

I’m a complete novice but after watching your videos I’m keen to get a NAS for photo/data storage and surveillance. What I’m not sure on is the hard drives to get. My thoughts are to have 2 WD Red with Raid 1 set up for photo/data storage and then 1 WD purple dedicated for surveillance. Is it possible to have 2 different WD (Red and purple) in the same NAS or should it just be one or the other?

Also in terms of surveillance storage, if I wanted to have constant recording at the highest quality for 2 cameras how much TB should I get for 30 days recording.

Thanks for your videos and advice.

Hi Folks. Currently I have a Synology DS220j for my Plex Media Server, however, recently, I noticed that its lagging while playing videos. I've concluded based on research that it's having trouble transcoding. Is this correct and if so, should I upgrade to the DS220+ or as a future proof solution, upgrade to the DS720+. What are your thoughts on this since video is going in the direction of 4K?

Hi there, after watching some fantastic NasCompares video content I bought a TVS H1288X (great system)

I am facing an issue with backups. I want to slowly shift my data into Google Drive between 5pm and 5am every day, this is when I can afford to saturate the internet connection with uploading.

With my Synology, I can easily schedule operation times for my sync task - I can't see any such controls on the Qnap? I have about 40tb to get up initially, then about 800gb per month.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Many thanks,
