As a photographer/videographer looking for a new NAS setup to store and access footage from anywhere in the world, I would highly recommend considering a Synology + (plus) series model. The DS1621+ would be a great fit for your needs, offering ample file storage capacity and the ability to access it remotely at any time. While you won't be editing directly from the NAS, using it as backup storage for your shoots and having editors download the footage onto their SSDs for editing is a practical workflow. Once the editing is complete, uploading the files back to the NAS for final checks and delivery to clients is seamless. With the DS1621+, you also have the option to upgrade to local 10GbE for faster data transfers. Additionally, the Synology Presto service can further speed up remote access to your files. Another advantage is that you can mix different-sized drives within the DS1621+ to tailor the storage to your specific needs. This combination of features makes the DS1621+ an excellent choice to meet your requirements.
