Home Video Edting NAS advice

#1
Into video editing for scuba diving videos, more a hobby than an income, using mac.

Currently storing source video files on External HDDs, but need to look a something more reliable in terms of back up and storage.

Looking at a NAS, but not sure which way to go in both RAID options and brands to consider, in terms of ease of setup (I'm semi technical but the kind that can get into trouble easier than getting out of it Big Grin )

Was thinking having two mirrored NAS solutions to max storage capacity, but not sure if this is a good approach, or what systems may support this?

Cheers

If you're looking for the cheapest video editing solution among the QNAP TBS-464, QNAP TS-264, and Synology DS923+, the QNAP TS-264 would be the most affordable option. You can use nvme as storage pool and pcie for 10gbe upgrades.

When it comes to video editing, it is important to have a fast and reliable storage solution. A NAS can be a great option for storing your video files and providing access to them from multiple devices. RAID options such as RAID 1 (mirroring) or RAID 5 (striping with parity) can provide redundancy and help ensure that your data is safe in case of a drive failure.

In terms of ease of setup, both QNAP and Synology offer user-friendly interfaces and setup wizards to make the process as easy as possible. However, it is always a good idea to do your own research and read user reviews before making a purchase.

As for having two mirrored NAS solutions, this can be a good approach for maximizing storage capacity and providing redundancy. However, it is important to ensure that the two NAS devices are properly configured and synced to avoid data inconsistencies. Both QNAP and Synology offer solutions for syncing data between multiple NAS devices, such as QNAP's Qsync and Synology's Synology Drive.
