Dear NasCompares team,
I, first of all, wanted to get a NAS to improve the security of my photos and videos with redundancy and encryption.
Right now, I am stuck with slow external hard drives, so it would be beneficial if the NAS could give me a speed increase for a better workflow.
The main problem I am struggling with right now is the question of how much performance is needed for a semi-professional photo- and videographer.
I would like to edit RAW 50MP photos directly on the system, and, if possible, to do the same with 4k 10Bit 250Mbit videos.
If the video editing part is not feasible with my budget, it would be fine to have a DAS SSD for video editing, in which I could transfer the data.
What kind of NAS do I need for this use case? Do I need 1Gbit, 2,5Gbit or 10Gbit? And could a mixed storage solution help me with having lots of value storage while also being able to edit videos on the NAS?
If needed, I could build a NAS myself.
Thanks for the help,
Jan
