Yes, DS3617xs and Qnap – TS-1677X and TS-1685-D1521 only differ with a CPU model slightly. All of these NAS will easily cope with 4K and 8K editing needs.Something to keep an eye open for is the number of PCIe slots. The x1685 features two PCIe Gen3 x8 slots and one PCIe Gen2 x4 slot, supporting 10GbE/ 40GbE adapters as well as PCIe NVMe SSD for caching (or really fast volume). I would personally pick one the rackmounts like RS3617xs+ or TS-1277XU, but these require a sound-insulated server room.Either way, you need to stick with a Xeon, Ryxen or Intel core i based CPU in order to ensure the best performance (it is needed for the RAID and faster ethernet operations).All NAS models mentioned are expandable (rackmounts easier than desktops).I hope this helps.
