Which NAS? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
Hi!
I'm searching for a NAS that is able to serve as:
- A cloud. So me and clients can access files
- I need to be able to access files via the USB-C on my MAC. Assume it's thunderbolt 3. Since my network is only 250 mbps.
- Read/Write speed 200
- 4 slots for HDD
I'm planning on starting with 2 x 8tb HDD.
At the moment I have 5 portable HDD and one SSD that I'm editing off. Tired of stacking portable HDD and need something more sustainable now that I've had my productioncompany for about a year.
Thankful for any advice/tips

You should have a look at Qnap TS-453BT3 and TVS-472XT. You can connect them directly as well as via Ethernet.You will be able to replace Dropbox with your own cloud. Also, read-write speeds will be greater than 200 depending on file types.If you use SSD instead of HDD in those bays, you would achieve even greater speeds.Otherwise, Pro 7200RPM drives would be the fastest choice.I hope this helps.
