NAS Prebuild vs Selfbuild

#2
For your use case, a high-performance NAS with fast storage options and hardware-accelerated transcoding capabilities would be ideal. The amount of network speed you need depends on the number of clients accessing the NAS at once and the amount of data being transferred.

For editing RAW 50MP photos, you would need a fast storage solution, such as an SSD or NVMe drive, with enough storage capacity to accommodate your needs. Depending on your budget, you could opt for a NAS with multiple bays that support both SSDs and HDDs, allowing you to have a mix of high-performance storage for your photo and video files, as well as large-capacity, low-cost storage for your other data.

For editing 4K 10-bit 250Mbit videos, you would need a NAS with powerful hardware-accelerated transcoding capabilities. This would allow you to edit your videos directly on the NAS without having to transfer the data to a separate editing device. For this, you would need at least a 2.5 Gbps network connection to ensure smooth and fast data transfer.
For a single user you could us Qnap ts-464 or if possible even 472XT series NAS.

I hope this helps.
