Choosing a NAS for video editing

#1
Hi there,

Thanks so much for all your brilliant work.

I'm looking to buy a NAS for editing 4K footage, with lots of video and audio effects laid on.
I'm using a 2019 27" iMac, which was fully specced at the time and has Thunderbolt 3 but no 10gbe. That got me thinking about a QNAP Thunderbolt NAS like the TVS-872XT or the TVS-672XT But I just saw your videos talking about the updated versions, the TVS-h874 or TVS-h674. These are not Thunderbolt, but would you recommend using ethernet instead, with an adapter from my Thunderbolt port in my case?

I know that you've recommended an 8-bay NAS for video editing. Is that still the case, given the 22 TB drives and extension units available? And the new PCle V4 for speed? I'm not sure that my budget stretches to the 8-bay version. How much better would it be? Would you recommend the TVS-h674 (i3) in my case? Or the TVS-872XT when it goes on sale? Lastly, thoughts on the Terramaster T12-450 for 4K video editing?

Thanks heaps!
