Synology is indeed a very reliable solution, but Qnap is their biggest competitor and very often they come up with solutions Synology can not replicate. And so there is software on Qnap available to allow you to live stream and save the video on the NAS all at once. It is called DJ2live. You can read more here: https://www.qnap.com/solution/dj2live/en-uk/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIOLYJxl0HwSHR RAID only allows us to mix different size drives. There are no other benefits. But it is easier to move your drives or recover if you use traditional RAID like RAID5/6. I would recommend their latest video editor solutions such as TVS-872XT (also 4 and 6 bays available). They also have 72N version for those who do not need Thunderbolt. You will also get a cache to speed up things. Also, it will support virtual machines if you still wanted to keep Active directory and other windows server functions but run o the NAS itself. You will also get Dropbox-like alternatives, Video and photo apps, and even snapshot technology to protect your NAS against things like the Wanna Cry virus. All this included with a NAS.I hope this helps.
