Hello, i've watched your videos and they have been very helpful! I'm a Mac-based video editor on a 2013 MacPro with Gigabit internet, thunderbolt 2.0 and USB 3.o. I will upgrade to a brand new mac pro with thunderbolt 3 sometime within 2 years. I'm wondering if there would be any direct advantage to using a NAS with gigabit ethernet directly connected to my machine and using it as a simple RAID 5? I don't exactly need any of the IOT features of NAS right now but maybe in the future. I am also kind of far from my internet modem and just use Wifi and not wired ethernet. I'm wondering if I'm crazy to buy a NAS? Would a Synology or other NAS be good for me or should I just buy a "dumb" RAID 5? Any ideas would be helpful
