NAS for video editing - Enquiries - 12-31-2023
Hello, I plan to video editing 4K to 6K footage in 2024. I use Final Cut Pro. I have the latest es M1 and M3 macs. I need to be able to edit between my home and work. That means uploading and downloading footage so I can either start or continue video editing projects from either location. Basically bouncing between locations. I also need to be able to send links for other people to review video projects. I plan to setup a 10GB network but also have Thunderbolt 4 ports with the new Macs. I like ti edit fast if possible on my NAS or at least access fast uploaded footage. What NAS do you recommend I purchase now or should I wait for what 2024 brings? I heard Synology has the best software nut not the fastest hardware. So I’m confused. Any advice or recommendations is greatly appreciated. Feel free to send me links to purchase a NAS system. Thank you very much.
