I run a video post production as a solo operator, I do work from editing files, color grading and deliverables.
Recently I purchased a QNAP TVS-H1688X, with the idea to expand my raid system (5 x 8tb Ironwolf Raid zero on external enclosure via Megaraid)
I'd like to move those drives to the QNAP, and build a RAID 5 using the 12 HDD 3.5 slots, but reading the HDD description, they are recommended for 8 bay, and after that it is the Ironwolf Pro.
This system is not running 24 x 7, and I noticed that this QNAP model has 8 bays in the lower area, and 4 bays in the upper area (plus 4 extra SSD bays).
I'm very inclined to populate it with the Non-pro Ironwolf, since I can't replace all the drives to Pro version at this moment.
I was wondering if you have any insight whether the whole vibration is an issue in this model, since the 8 bay and 4 bay are indeed separated and not contiguous. And if perhaps this is some design move from QNAP to allow us to use Non-pro drives without failure.
Thanks!
