4k editing NAS - Enquiries - 11-08-2022
Need Help!
My turn finally to buy a NAS and money isn’t an issue.
I edit 4k multi cam vids all day long and need to work off a NAS that has caching, back-up etc. I will need raid to back up work just in case of storage failures. My vid and clips and data are at the moment at around 15T so want a system that can handle that, back it up, and extract the data whenever I need with fast speed.
Again I want the best, something that will last years and not something that will be outdated any time soon.
Speed is the key for me though.

If you are happy with 10GbE speeds, I would recommend ds1621xs+ or Synology plus series featuring PCIe slot upgrade. This would work for you.
If you prefer Thunderbolt, then Qnap 872XT or their x88 series would allow you to connect this way. Also, Qnap NVMe slots can be user for storage instead of caching. Which is better for editing compared to caching.
I hope this helps.
