For your photography and 4k video needs, the DS923+ would be an excellent choice, providing both reliability and future-proofing. With the ability to upgrade to 10GbE and support for NVMe pools, it ensures seamless data transfer and efficient storage performance. Considering your solo work approach, the 4-bay configuration allows flexibility without going overboard. Storing camera files directly on the NAS and utilizing a local NVMe SSD for cache files aligns perfectly with optimizing your workflow.
