NAS for Photo & Video

High-performance storage for video production and Media Editing

This collection suits photographers, videographers and small studios. Keep WIP on fast SSD (or SSD cache) and store camera originals on HDD. For teams, step up to 10GbE (or Thunderbolt) and turn on snapshots + replication to protect your work.

FAQs

Will a NAS be as fast as a local SSD?

No, but 10GbE/Thunderbolt + SSD WIP gets very close and supports multiple editors.

Do I need all‑flash?

Usually not. SSD for WIP + HDD for source/archive gives the best $/TB.

How to choose from this collection

Pick one system for WIP (SSD) and one for capacity (HDD) — either two pools in one chassis or two separate NAS units.

Network & performance

2.5GbE is a big step up from 1GbE; 10GbE unlocks smooth multi‑user editing.
Thunderbolt NAS is great for a lead editor on Mac while others use 10GbE.

RAID & snapshots

RAID1/10 for SSD pools; RAID6/RAIDZ2 for large HDD arrays.
Enable hourly/daily snapshots and replicate nightly to a second NAS or USB.
