TVS-h874

you have not stated what Synology you have. DS1821+, a Rack Station ? You do know that you can now use non Synology drives with Synology systems - they changed the rules recently. You have not stated the total amount of storage you need. You have not stated how many computers are going to use this Q

you have not said how many editors. You have not said how much total storage you need. So I will make something up - if you have four editors - you get a QNAP TVS-h874. It's $2200 you run the operating system (ZFS, or QuTs) with two 500 Gig Samsung EVO 980 - they are $70 each. IF you put in eight ma

replies below - I currently handle our organization’s video production. We create somewhere around 3-4TB of storage per year. Here’s what I was considering as possible solutions. REPLY - 3 - 4 TB a year ? Are you shooting with Go Pro's ? A typical professional video production is 2 - 4 TB per shoot.

you don't edit h.264 - you transcode this to a normal editing codec using things like Adobe Media Encoder, EditReady, etc. Resolve will also let you transcode h.264 - or you get stuttering playback. If you are never going to have 2 or more users, you can get away with a 6 drive NAS, but if you are g

I don't have a beef with the TVS-h874. For a professional QNAP model - it is low end entry model, that is designed for desktop use. If you plan on getting more and more and more storage, then you purchase an Enterprise QNAP (this would be the same analogy for a Synology product). If your business is

yes - I have installed two TS-1655 systems. With a TS-1655, you still have to add a 10G card, RAM (4G ain't enough) and the 12 drives and 2 SSD's. So it's still not "cheap". I am not a fan of the ATOM Intel CPU, but it works, and it's sure a hell of a lot better than the Annapurna CPU's. I recently

I wasn't sure if this was a QNAP forum, or the editors forum, when I got this notification. No matter what I say - I wind up insulting someone - perhaps I will wind up insulting you. This is the editors forum. It is for professional editors. Professional editors are not using iPhones and GoPro camer

the Synology DS1821+ is an 8 drive NAS, similar to the QNAP TVS-h1288X or TVS-h874. An 8 drive NAS is not capable of supporting 8 - 10 professional video editors using 10G ethernet, that are doing full res 4K video media, with programs like Adobe Premiere, Davinci Resolve, Apple FCP X or AVID Media

Bob, Thanks! I enjoy your posts a lot. I just read a very long thread from you on the QNAP board. Sorry I conflated my transcoding comments. That is strictly for viewing 4k MP4 or HD videos usually on the local LAN via a media player or perhaps offsite via plex. If on local LAN using a media player

QNAP is marginally newer hardware than Synology with worse software. If all you're doing on there is SMB or NFS shares and backup, I'd suggest you get used to an open NAS platform like TrueNAS Scale (based on Linux, unlike TrueNAS Core which is based on BSD). Main difference is you don't have as man
