Thanks for the info ed. Yes I was looking at your early 2022 recommendation QNAP TS-H973 AX

If I was to go with the TVS-472XT, what drives would you recommend?

TIA

WD Red Pro or Ironwolf Pro would be high-performance drives, but they also generate some noise. With photo editing, you could as well go for WD Red plus drives. 

I hope this helps.

Thanks ed. I see there have been quite a few negative comments on the Amazon QNAP page - hopefully these are unfounded
