This NAS would be located on our network in another building to provide an archive location for mostly video files. I will be manually backing up my edit SSD's (16TB) at least weekly. A video server on our network will also use the NAS as an archive location and will periodically backup old videos automatically. Our network is currently 1GbE but I could see it being useful to have the ability to move this NAS closer to my edit station and potentially edit directly off it with a dedicated 10GbE port. If that increases the cost significantly though, I would probably prefer to stick to something that is solely used for archive purposes and spend the money on that. But if it fits in the budget of $3100, it might be useful to include.
We have mainly stuck to Synology in the past, although if there is a significant benefit to going with another manufacturer, we would be open to it.
