You should be able to edit photos over a 1Gbit network, it fast enough. The J series is indeed very slow. Upgrading to plus series would speed things up. With a 4-bay you can simply move drives over and add an extra drive or two when you need them. With Synology you can also mix different size drives, it would work too.DS420+ 920+ would be something I would consider.I hope this helps.
