Hello! I'm a motion gfx / vfx artist in need of expanding my storage.
Currently working on a 2020 imac with 4TB of storage but struggling to constantly stay on top of clearing data in between multiple jobs. Ideally looking for a DAS or NAS that has fast read / write speeds as I work with a lot of 4K and higher footage in DPX or EXR sequences. I primarily work on this 1 machine (currently in my bedroom) and i have an older imac downstairs and use dropbox to pass files between them. So a NAS would be good but not essential. Though i am looking at building a garden office so longterm a NAS might be good for working in and out of the house though the immediate need is to just expand storage but maintain high read / write speeds.
Appreciate any guidance on this.
