I'm reaching out to seek your expert advice as I'm in the process of building a new editing system. I'm thinking about getting QNAP TVS-h874T-i7-32g with 8X16TB IronWolf HDDs in RAID 5 configuration, and also Crucial 2TB P5 Plus PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD with Heatsink X2.
The important thing is that I want it to handle 3 editors at the same time with 4K video files on Mac devices, as the work is done using FCPX software. So, I want to achieve maximum speed in data transfer and file handling.
"Additionally, I'm contemplating expanding operations and connecting more devices to the QNAP. Would connecting them via the QM2-2P410G2T card and distributing them through QSW-M3216R-8S8T provide consistent and acceptable speeds for everyone?
So, do you think it's worth investing in the QM2-2P410G2T with QSW-M3216R-8S8T for now, or would it be better to invest in the QXG-25G2SF-CX6 with QSW-M5216-1T in the future?
