Hello everyone,
I'm new to the NAS game and looking for a solution for video editing and storage.
We have an editor who needs to be able to edit videos on the NAS. There are also four people who occasionally, but never at the same time, need to be able to access the storage to view video files.
I am thinking of a DS923+ with a 10Gb network card. The editor would be connected directly to the NAS via a Thunderbolt adapter and everyone else would be connected via the company network, which is limited to 1Gb. Can the NAS be configured accordingly and will I achieve my goal?
For storage I was thinking of 3x 12TB HDDs in RAID5 and 500GB SSD as cache. Is it better to configure the cache as RAID0? Is it even necessary for our application?
Bonus question: should we also look at a QNAP TVS-472XT to give the editor a native Thunderbolt connection with a theoretical 40Gb?
Thank you!
