Hello,
Please help me out, as a complete beginner NAS user, I'd like to know if it's a good idea to purchase my very first NAS.
My wife and I are both photographers and video makers, we have always stored our photos/videos/projects on external hard drives (like Lacie or SanDisk) but we have had troubles lately caused by disk failure or even slow performances.
I had this idea of upgrading to a NAS storage: I'm thinking on buying a TerraMaster F4-210(2G) with 4x4TB WD Red drives, used in RAID5 (so 12TB total capacity). We would like to store all our data on this server, and work directly from this server with our photo/video projects. I will most probably connect the NAS directly to our Mac Studio M1 10GbE port, we don't have a network, it's only me and her accessing the same computer in turns.
Do you think this is a good idea? Is this NAS capable of helping us out working fast enough for photo/video projects?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
