Hello and thank you for your appreciation! It's great to hear that you've done your research and are considering the QNAP TVS-472XT NAS for your Mac/PC hybrid environment. With its Thunderbolt 3 support and the ability to populate it with four Seagate 22TB IronWolf Pro drives, it should serve your needs well. Since you'll be working with large 4k footage, adding NVMe or SSDs for faster access caching is a good idea, especially for editing directly. SSDs tend to perform better with smaller files, which can be beneficial for your workflow. Considering your setup and requirements, the TVS-472XT seems like a suitable choice. You may as well consider using NVME for editing instead of caching (many people do).
