Considering your requirements for handling three editors simultaneously working on 4K video files using FCPX, your choice of the QNAP TVS-h874T-i7-32g with 8X16TB IronWolf HDDs in RAID 5, along with the Crucial 2TB P5 Plus PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD with Heatsink X2, seems well-suited. Each editor typically requires around 300MB/s for smooth operation, and with load balancing enabled and both LAN connections to the switch, you should achieve adequate speeds. However, if you're looking to expand operations and connect more devices in the future, investing in the QM2-2P410G2T with the QSW-M3216R-8S8T switch would be a wise move, providing consistent and acceptable speeds for everyone involved. There's no pressing need for anything faster than 10GbE at the moment. Hope this helps in your decision-making process!
