NAS for video editing - Enquiries - 09-02-2024
Hello lads, thanks for all your work and knowledge!
Would you recommend the TS-432X-4G as a good NAS for parking/ archiving large video projects from edit suites as well as light editing work?
I need to upgrade asap.
Thank you!

Regarding your question, the QNAP TS-432X-4G can handle parking and archiving large video projects, but for light editing, you might want a bit more power to ensure smooth performance.
Better Options to Consider:
QNAP TS-464:
This NAS offers an Intel Celeron processor, which is a step up from the TS-432X-4G. It’s great for light editing work with speeds up to 300MB/s, making it more suited for video editing tasks. Plus, it has 2.5GbE connectivity for faster data transfers, which is ideal for your needs.
Synology DS923+:
If you’re looking for even more power, the DS923+ is a fantastic choice. It features an AMD Ryzen processor, supports up to 32GB of RAM, and with an optional 10GbE upgrade, it can reach speeds up to 500MB/s. This makes it perfect for handling larger video files and more intensive editing tasks.
Recommendation:
For light editing and archiving, the QNAP TS-464 would be a solid, budget-friendly option that fits within your €800 budget.
If you need more power for heavier editing tasks and future-proofing, consider investing in the Synology DS923+ for a bit more flexibility and performance.
