> I would be extremely cautious about using any consumer grade TLC or quad-level-cell SSD in a "NAS" for serious purposes because of well known write lifespan issues. I don't know what you're using your NAS for, but the author is using it as scratch space for raw video files. It's not an OLTP DBMS or anything. It just needs really fast ingest of files beyond the capacity that a DRAM cache can provide. > I also cannot even imagine spending $4000+ on a home file server/NAS with copper only 10GbE NIC and it not having at least one 10G SFP+ interface network card. The author's editing rig doesn't necessarily have a 10G NIC, let alone being attached to a 10G switch with runs of CAT6a; and there's only one device talking to this NAS at a time (as the author cannot be in two places at once.) So what'd be the point?
