Hi, I've been watching your videos the last couple of days to learn about NAS systems and checked out your website and thought I just give it a try.
FOLLOWING SCENARIO
Goal & the setup will be:
1 PC for gaming only
1 PC for streaming & recording only
1 PC for cutting, rendering and uploading videos only (plan: a cutter can access this PC even online via AnyDesk and create and upload videos while the streaming PC still can be used to stream and record new footage at the same time)
Th recording PC only has only a single 2.5GbE port, but we want to buy an Intel X550-T2 PCIe (or should we get something different?) card for this PC so it has 10GbE. The gaming & editing PC both already have an extra 10GbE port on the IO panel at the back of their motherboard.
The recorded footage going to be up to 6-10 hour long (a full Twitch livestream) and around 1 TB huge 1440p or 4K video files (H.264 codec) and recorded with OBS Studio.
We don't want to stockpile footage forever so 10-20 TB would more than enough for the NAS. The raw footage will be deleted after the finished video has been uploaded to the YouTube channel. So speed when accessing/transferring the files is the most important part and especially a smooth playback for video editing. So just as an example on how we think: If 10 TB can be faster than 20 TB we would rather take 10 TB storage. But 10 TB is the minimum on storage space.
Internet Bandwith:
1000 GBit/s Download
400 Mbit/s Upload
Ping: 1ms
To summarize this up:
We want to record with OBS Studio up to 1TB huge and 10 hours long 1440p/4K (H.264) with one PC directly to the NAS server and access this footage as fast possible (1025MB/s with 10GbE?) from a second editing and rendering workstation. 10 TB of storage space is enough. 20 TB would be nice, but not necessary if 10 TB are faster or so. The budget is basically unlimited, but we don't want to spend more on what we need.
Thanks for any advice. I really appreciate it.
Best wishes
