A quiet 8-bay storage solution?

#1
Greetings,

I am writing to enquire about, what would be the best storage enclosure for the most quiet possible 8 x 8 TB SSD solution. The SSDs would most probably be running as JBOD. The use case is 120fps 10bit 4K video editing/ coloring.

The emphasis is on finding the most quiet possible enclosure for remote work at home. Because HDDs are lound when spinning, especially as more storage is added, and as most of the enclosures have loud/ low quality fans that create more noise than one would wish for in his own home/ bedroom, I would like to know if you can suggest the best quiet 8-bay storage enclosure that could store 8 SSDs?

Kind regards,
Kristaps

You could consider a combination of HDD and SSDs. Live projects could be done on an SSD array. Finished projects could be stored on HDD volume. When drives are inactive they will hibernate. This way you will get a quite solution. The most popular choice is TVS-872XT. Having 10GbE or Thunderbolt is quite important for 4K editing.Alternatively, you could consider any PCIe based NAS models. You can install a 10GbE card and achieve the same results. Maybe steer clear from Celeron based models, those might not cope with full 10GbE speeds.I hope this helps.
