Thank you for your support, this keeps us going.
Yes, NAS is a very universal storage device. You can copy files from a MAC and Windows without having file system compatibility issues. With USB/Thunderbolt drive you could face these issues. You can choose to do all heavy work on your computer and then transfer data over. Or you can everything straight from the NAS. You can map it as a network drive or as ISCI drive (system will see it similar to C: drive).
The real question is, what speed do you need. CAD systems and file storage might OK with 1Gbit speeds. This is what you will get from the drives mentioned above. If you need 2.5Gbit or even put o 10Gbit speeds then Qnap TS-253D/ TS-264 would allow achieving those speeds with correct media inside.
The difference between plus and J/value series is additional functionality like server backups, snapshots etc.
I hope this helps.
