Need help picking - Enquiries - 07-16-2022
Hello,
I've been watching your videos for a month or so trying to decide on what storage solution I need. I have a YouTube channel 731 Woodworks. I have been backing up, or storing my previous video footage on a couple of 14TB Western Digital Elements (I think that's the brand) HDD. Well, you can guess what happened. One drive won't mount and I've lost access to those videos.
I don't need networked storage. I need to be able to store and backup all of my video files and Final Cut Pro libraries for later access. I also want to be able to edit directly off of the NAS. I don't mind if the storage is on the network, but mainly I need to be able to connect and disconnect the storage from my MacBook Pro M1.
I shoot all 4k 30p footage. I need something I can connect to my Macbook and edit directly from the storage device while also having a RAID set up for safe storage.
What set up would you recommend? I am looking at this QNAP https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KG3K4TZ/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 with 2 NVME M.2 1TB https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MFZY2F2/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 as well as six 14TB 7200RPM drives.
But during my research I've heard that QNAP have issues with being attacked by ransom ware. But I am not sure that a Synology has the connectivity I need for my Mac?
Thank you for any advice.
