NAS for video editing (multiple editors)

[Enquiries]

Hi, just watched your '5 mistakes' video which was the most useful advice I've had in quite a while! Thank you.

Our initial use is on an on-site project with up to 4 x video editors accessing HD video data at the same time.
Onward use as internet accessible storage for remote access by freelancers to save us posting drives around the country!

Was thinking of Thunderbolt, but since viewing your video, think 10Gbe best option. TB > 10Gbe adapters + 10Gbe switch and standard 1Gbe / 2.5Gbe router to provide IP? Have looked at QNAP TVS-672XT but now not sure as there may be better / cheaper non-Thunderbolt devices out there with 10Gbe.

Thanks very much for your consideration.

Phil.

I appreciate your interest in a NAS solution for video editing. Considering your requirements and budget, the Synology DS1821+ and DS1621+ are excellent choices. Both models offer reliable performance and can be enhanced with LAN card upgrades for 10/25/100GbE connectivity.

Recommended Options:

Synology DS1821+ [V1500B 4GB 8-Bay] - $1051.79

This model with LAN card upgrade provides sufficient bays for your storage needs and ensures high-speed connectivity for multiple editors.
Synology DS1621+ [V1500B 4GB 6-Bay] - $916.6

With the LAN card upgrade, this 6-bay NAS strikes a good balance between storage capacity and cost, making it suitable for your video editing requirements.
Before finalizing your decision, ensure compatibility with the LAN card upgrade and verify any additional accessories needed for optimal performance.
