Hi NAS Compares,
I'm a videographer and I'll be using the M.2 slots as a separate volume to edit my videos from, over 10Gbe. I think I'll need at least 8TB in that volume. My ideal scenario would be to get one 8TB drive for now (like the Corsair MP600 Pro XT), which will leave a slot free so I can get another 8TB down the track. The NAS will be on almost all of the time (often sleeping). Do you recommend that Corsair drive in this use case? Are they reliable?
QNAP doesn't list any 8TB drives as compatible and they only recommend one 4TB drive - the WD Red SN700. I'd prefer to get a Gen4 drive though. My computer is a 2019 iMac 27", which has an NVME SSD built in. I think my current setup would benefit from having a Gen4 drive, yes? Gen4 would future proof it for when I upgrade my computer too.
My other notion is to get 2 x Firecuda 530 4TBs.
Thanks!
