Most of the people that are buying this will attached very large external storage as it is most likely going to be used as a video editing workstation.
- walterbell 7y agoIs video editing external storage more likely to be shared 10GbE NAS or direct attached Thunderbolt 3 with software RAID?
- smogcutter 7y agoNAS in any reasonably sized shop.
- walterbell 7y agoIs there a prevalent vendor/stack, e.g. Netapp, QNAP, FreeNAS, Unraid?
- altmind 7y agoNo prevalent stack AFAIK, but add Synology and WD Nas to the list.
- timc3 7y agoThe kinda places I see these going in would not touch either of those products. They are both seen as the most entry level of storage devices
- altmind 7y agoare we talking about workstation nas here? we have nothing but praise for synology performance and reliability. software is stable, tiering works flawlessly, expansion is inexpensive, web ui is good, ssh gives you a proper shell - do whatever operations on your nas locally, faster.
- ganoushoreilly 7y agoEditing workstation NAS, different IOPS use case. I ran a Synology as a test with VMware and even though the unit was certified, it was nightmarishly sluggish. That said, they're perfect for Most business not in the editing space.
- timc3 7y agoI was talking storage solutions for video editing. They typically use vendors building solutions to cater for that market.
- timc3 7y agoStornext. The poster above mentioned NAS, but I reckon it would be seen more often as not connected to a SAN.
