any 8 bay or 12 bay NAS will give you 1000 MB/sec over 10G ethernet to the client computers. I will describe the NAS in a moment. You need a 10G switch. Your four Mac Studio 10G ethernet ports get plugged into the 10G switch, and your NAS 10G port gets plugged into the 10G switch. A QNAP QSW-M3216R-

nothing wrong with AVID Nexis. Nothing wrong with EditShare. Nothing wrong with Facilis Hub. Nothing wrong with OWC Jellyfish, nothing wrong with Studio Network Solutions EVO. You want a QNAP or a Synology for 3 editors with Adobe Premiere or AVID Media Computer - you get an EIGHT DRIVE NAS. I don't

that is correct. I personally prefer QNAP. A QNAP TVS-h874 will come with 32 Gig of RAM. It costs $2199. You need a 10G card - the QNAP QXG-10G1T is $139.

Technology always becomes outdated. There is no way to "fu

Hello - A QNAP TS-855eu street price is $1599. It doesn't even come with 10G ports. Screw the rack mount model, if you are looking to save money. Buy a QNAP TVS-h874. $2199. Buy a QNAP QXG-10G2T 10G card - $269. Put in two 500 gig M.2 NVMe drives as Storage Pool 1 - $79 each. Now put in your eight 1

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

the TS-832PX-4G is the worst QNAP. What is important to you - price or performance ? You can't have both. You want a great 8 drive NAS from QNAP ? TVS-h874. $2200.
